evict a NY tenant

[coastal]

Need to evict tenants in NY. Over the past 8 months they have not paid rent on time where do I start and do I necessarily need to hire an attorney? I'm a medical student and with their not paying the rent I can't make the mortgage payment. Currently they have not paid feb or march rent. Their lease says that they owe late fees for the other 8 months they were late but I've never complained or collected it. What direction do I start in and if you think I need a lawyer please recommend one.
