Infamous “Preppy Killer” Robert Chambers was spotted in New York Thursday carrying a manila envelope apparently packed with documents related to his prison release.

The 56-year-old, who was released from the slammer last week after serving 15 years on a drug and assault conviction, was seen clutching the envelope marked with a checklist on one side that seemed to declare its contents.

“License suspension, SS card, COVID vaccination record (2),” the envelope read, along with “J pay memo, DOH packet, release ID, release papers.”

The list also appeared to indicate Chambers’ “Academy of Political Science membership” was inside the envelope.

It is unclear exactly what that membership referred to, but it could have been the New York City non-profit of the same name, which describes itself as being dedicated to promoting non-partisan political, economic, and social education.

“The prestige and authority of the Academy are such that internationally renowned political professionals and scholars of all political persuasions have enrolled as members, participated in its conferences, and contributed to its publications,” the Academy of Political Science’s (APS) website reads.

Chambers spoke with reporters on Thursday, two days after he was released from prison.

It is unclear what membership in the APS entails, but the website suggests it is attained through donations ranging from $75 to $1,000.

The APS could not be reached for comment when contacted by The Post.

Chambers gained notoriety in 1986 after he was accused of killing fellow Upper East Side socialite Jennifer Levin, 18, in Central Park — a charge he later admitted to under a plea for manslaughter.

He argued he was defending himself from Levin, who became violent during “rough sex” behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art after a night out drinking together.

He was sentenced to 15 years and served his full sentence before being sprung in 2003 and returned to New York City.

In 2007, he was busted for dealing hard drugs out of his Upper East Side apartment, and sentenced to 19 years in prison.

Chambers was paroled 4 years early and will remain under strict parole guidelines until 2028.
