Bankruptcy Law

I own a small cooperative apartment. If I file for bankruptcy, will I lose my apartment? (NY)

If the fair market value of the apartment, after deducting any mortgages, is less than $50,000 singly, or $100,000 for a married couple filing jointly, the apartment would be exempt under the new bankruptcy laws in New York.
