New York Criminal Procedure Law 160.50 permits the "sealing" of cases where charges were dismissed, vacated, set-aside, not filed, or otherwise terminated. Otherwise, New York does not allow expungements, or "sealings," of cases where a conviction was entered, except for some older controlled substance, marijuana, and loitering offenses. Sealing a record under 160.50 will prevent the public from having access or seeing the records, including fingerprint cards, photographs, court entries, and other information related to the case. The record may still be made available to some entities, such as courts and law enforcement.
New York also permits the expungements of non-criminal dispositions (violations and traffic infractions, such as disorderly conduct) through New York Criminal Procedure Law 160.55. Misdemeanors and felony adjudications are not eligible. Therefore, you would not be eligible to have this matter expunged. Oscar Michelen

Mr. Orozco is correct that NY -unlike many other jurisdictions - does not have an expungment statute. All that is available to youis a Certificate of Relief From Civil Disabilities. This document, which you normally get through Probation or Parole, just reinstates your ability to obtain certain licenses and in some cases reinstate your right to vote. It may help you qualify for a government job. But it does not really effect the private sector in any way.
