Re: Is there a LAWYER in the HOUSE?
I am sure my uncle would know b/c he deals with legal issues all the time b/c he rents out houses.
I did find this online though, I don't know if it works for NYS , but I will keep looking.
Right of Entry
In general, with tenant consent, a landlord has a right of entry to inspect the premises; make repairs; supply necessary or agreed services; or show the property to potential tenants, purchasers or contractors. Entry is limited to reasonable times, and two days' notice of intent to enter is required. A landlord may enter the premises without the tenant's consent if an emergency or abandonment occurs, or if the landlord obtains a court order. A landlord may not abuse his or her right of access to the premises to harass a tenant.

I also found this here http://www.oag.state.ny.us/bureaus/real_estate_finance/pdfs/tenants_rights_guide.pdf
RIGHT TO PRIVACY
Tenants have the right to privacy within their apartments. A landlord, however, may enter a tenant’s apartment with reasonable
prior notice, and at a reasonable time: (a) to provide necessary or agreed upon repairs or services; (b) in accordance
with the lease; or (c) to show the apartment to prospective
purchasers or tenants. In an emergency, such as a fire, the landlord may enter the apartment without the tenant’s consent. A landlord may not abuse this limited right of entry or use it to harass a tenant. Additionally, a landlord may not interfere with the installation of cable televison facilities. Public
Service Law § 228.
I am guessing that as long as you give him prior notification, and at a decent time, you are allowed to enter the apartment. This was from an apartment complex looking guideline, but I am guessing the same would go for a homeowner. You can also try calling the Town and asking for some help there.

So what I would do is leave them a message on the phone, or in person , or in a written letter, telling them that you are having someone come by to see the apartment or to show the apartment and you are giving them prior notice in accordance to Section (whatever it was that I posted before) and that you will require them to be out of the apartment or something like that.
