Additional resources include the NY landlord tenant statute. Note Section 234 which may give you the possibility of recovering attorney fees:

I agree with Drew about sending her a copy of the applicable statute or code.
But I would also suggest completing the Florida small claims complaint form for the county where she lives, attach it to your demand letter, and give her a deadline date to pay or be sued.
Don't bluff.
If you threaten to sue and you don't sue if she doesn't pay, you'll never see your money again.
