File a claim with NYS Department of Labor.
Labor Standards investigates and "endeavors" to collect on these claims. If you had "good cause" for quitting you may be entitled to unemployment benefits. Consult legal counsel before filing such a claim.
For unpaid wages you must first demand to be paid. You might begin with certified or registered mail to them or a fax or hand delivery of a demand or all of the above. You will want proof that you demanded payment to your "correct" or current address or direct deposit and they failed to pay you after demand.

Good luck.
