Criminal Public Records New York

Will i be kicked out of public housing?

I live in new york city housing (NYCHA). I have been living in new york city housing for twenty years. A few years ago i grabbed my wife by the neck, i choked her and eventually i went to prison. I did that because i didn't know i was mentally ill. When i was arrested i was charged with a misdemeanor. A long time ago i found out that if you have a criminal record you can't live in new york city housing. I am planning to keep the apartment if my mother dies but i don't know if they will let me keep the apartment because of the crime i committed. Will they give me a chance because of my mental illness?

They will not let you keep it when your mother dies, once she no longer needs it the next family waiting gets it.

Would a Sheffield 12129 Twin Blade Pocket/Utility Knife be illegal to carry in new york city?

My friend got stopped, arrested and charged with a Class A misdemeanor (4th degree) because the officer in question accused him of carrying a gravity knife. The blade of the knife is less than 4 inches for sure, probably around 3" MAYBE 3 1/2" at most. My friend claimed it was a utility knife for work but was still arrested. Do you think he can fight the case and get off? It was also his first time offense, however he does not want a criminal record if he can avoid it, and can he go with a public defender, or should he hire a lawyer in his situation?
here's a link to the knife in question: http://www.shoppingsaletoday.com/shop/shop.php?i=B000B6T8J2
Any answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Well the cop wasn't able to flip the knife open at first but after multiple attempts, he did flick it open with the flick of his wrist

If I understand right, New York sees any knife that can be flicked out with the thumb or a flick of the wrist as a gravity knife. I know of someone who carried a knife in New York city every day. After using it for so long, the pivot point became loose enough to where it could be flicked out with a flick of the wrist. He thought nothing of it, but was stopped one day and arrested and charged with the same thing, because of the loose pivot, his knife was considered a "gravity knife". So, if the pivot on this utility knife was loose enough to be flicked open, it might be tough to fight that. But if it was tight enough to where it was unable to be flicked open, you might want to look into getting a lawyer. From now on, if you plan on carrying a knife in NYC, make sure to buy knives with adjustable pivots and tighten it to where it can't be opened with a flick.
Hope this helps.
