My landlord knocks, then lets himself in and walks all the way in my house before I even have a chance to get to the door to answer it. I live in New York State and all the other questions I saw were refering to California.

It is not legal for the landlord to invite himself into your home whenever he feels like it.
Tenants have the right to privacy within their apartments.
A landlord, however, may enter a tenant's apartment with reasonable prior notice, and at a reasonable time:
(a) to provide necessary or agreed upon repairs or services; or
(b) in accordance with the lease; or
(c) to show the apartment to prospective purchasers or tenants.
In emergencies, such as fires, the landlord may enter the apartment without the tenant's consent.
A landlord may not abuse this limited right of entry or use it to harass a tenant.
A landlord may not interfere with the installation of cable television facilities. (Public Service Law §228)

He can not enter unless you let him in or he has posted a 24 hour notice for repair or there is a fire. Other than that he is trespassing.

No. No one has the right to just stroll in....
If you read your lease, there are certain circumstances where a landlord has access to your apartment - but they are very limited..
Tell the jerk to STOP.....and if he doesn't - call the cops.
