[landlord Us Ny (upstate)] Problem Tenant Refusing Entry To Property - Recommendations Requested

Background:

I am currently evicting a tenant that has been acting erratically and refusing to pay rent.

They paid rent 25 days late last month and I gave them the ultimatum that they need to pay on the 1st (their due date) or I will need to begin eviction proceedings this month. They invited me over to pay on the 1st and when I arrived they called the cops on me saying I was harassing them... That was the last straw for me.

They have been refusing entry to anyone. I provided 24h notice of entry on Monday for a 3rd party inspector to do a walk-through to see the property condition (I was not present at this, because the tenant keeps claiming they will call the cops on me if I come over to inspect the house). The 3rd party inspector - a little old lady - was refused entry even with the 24h notice (tenant said he felt unsafe due to her and threatened to call the cops on the little old lady).

3rd party inspector took a video so that I have a record for court of how he is acting.

We are about a month into non-payment and my lawyer said they are filing for a court date late this week or early next week.

My question:

I would like to know what condition the property is in. How do I inspect the property if the tenant is refusing entry, even though a 24h notice has been provided?
