cyjeff and mistoffoles have good suggestions worth following. Isis is dead right on getting locks on rooms and locking yourself in if necessary.
Moving another person into the place would not be a good idea, if indeed it would make her feel "threatened". When dealing with a volatile person or situation, doing anything that might escalate the situation is ill advised.
As far as you initial legal concerns, as posted - well, this is NY.
A Family Law atty can give you advice about Family Court - because that's where someone would file for an Order of Protection (domestic violence based restraining order).
However, if there's an incident resulting in the police being called in and as a result your ex-girlfriend presses charges - that would be Justice Court most likely - I do not thing a Family Law atty would be as good a choice representing you there.
