Criminal Trespass in the First Degree is a class D felony, punishable by up to 7 years in prison for a first-time offender.

Simply put, criminal trespass tends to occur when an individual enters into or onto someone else's property (land, buildings, vehicles, etc.) without their permission, and continues as long as they remain there.
Trespass is an area of tort law broadly divided into three groups: trespass to the person (see below), trespass to chattels, and trespass to land. Trespass to the person historically involved six separate trespasses: threats, assault, battery, wounding, mayhem (or maiming), and false imprisonment.
The crime known as Trespass, Penal Law Section 140.05, reads simply: “A person is guilty of trespass when he knowingly enters or remains unlawfully in or upon premises.” Trespass is considered a violation and not a crime. The maximum punishment is a fine of $250 or up to 15 days in jail.
