rent back

I have a friend of mine going through an dilly of a perdicament. She has been living in a rent stabilized unit for 10 years on the Upper West Side. Recently she received an eviction notice saying that she owed back rent from 1999.

They asked her to furnish proof of payment but could not (who keeps receipts that long?) So does anyone know anything about tenent law and if this is even legal? The total of monies they claim she owes is $1000 – a pitance I know, but still – can they evel legally evict her for that?
