Janet E. Sabel, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Ronald Alfano of counsel), fr appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (David P. Stromes of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Roger S. Hayes, J.), rendered October 4, 2016, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, and sentencing him to a term of eight months, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342 [2007]). The evidence not only permitted, but warranted the inference that defendant was aware of the cocaine found in his own apartment (see People v Watson, 56 NY2d 632 [1982]; People v Reisman, 29 NY2d 278, 285-286 [1971], cert denied 405 US 1041 [1972]).
