CPLR 215 (4) provides that where an individual who has standing to enforce a penalty of forfeiture created by statute fails to do so within one year, it may be commenced within three *713years after commission of the offense by the Attorney General or District Attorney of the county in which the offense was committed. In some regard, this provision mirrors the provision under RPAPL 715 (5), allowing the District Attorney to bring a summary proceeding. Under section 715 (5), notice must first be given to the landlord before the District Attorney can sue in its own behalf.
