Bashid McLean, 23, was charged with murder and attempting to cover up the crime by hiding his mother's body parts.
The remains of the woman, Tanya Byrd, were discovered near Yankee Stadium in the Bronx on Tuesday when they were sniffed out by a dog being taken for a walk.
There were "several body parts - torso, head, legs, hands, feet", a police spokesman said.
