He is charged with felony criminal mischief. The sentence depends on the severity of the mischief.

Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree - New York Penal Law 145.05
While Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree allows prosecutors to "bump up" the Fourth Degree offense to a Third Degree crime in certain circumstances, the important provision of this section is as follows:
Pursuant to New York Penal Law 145.05(2), if you intentionally damage property of another as described above and the damage exceeds $250, but is no greater than $5,000, then you are guilty of this crime.
NY Penal Law section 145.05 is an "E" felony punishable by up to four years in state prison.
Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree - New York Penal Law 145.10
Like the lower level offenses, the language of Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree is the same. That is, if you damage the property of another without permission or authority, you are guilty of this crime. If that damage exceeds $5,000 in value, you are guilty of this offense.
NY Penal Law section 145.10 is a "D" felony punishable by up to seven years in state prison.
