She’s making a clean break.
A young Parsons School of Design student has quit drugs and dumped her bad-boy boyfriend – who was arrested with her in a raid involving Philip Seymour Hoffman’s accused heroin dealer, The Post has learned.
The romance of hipsters Juliana Luchkiw and Max Rosenblum, both 23, didn’t survive their legal woes and the media maelstrom, sources said.
Luchkiw appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court Wednesday where Justice Edward McLaughlin reduced the charge against her from cocaine possession to disorderedly conduct and sentenced her to time served as part of a plea deal.
The pretty brunette, sporting a stylish black wig, completed a required drug treatment program and has been excelling in school, said her lawyer Stephen Turano.

“She’s doing quite well,” Turano told the court. “She’s pursuing two degrees. a bachelors of fine arts and bachelors in design at Parsons and the New School. She intends to go to graduate school.”
In an effort to clean up her life, the daughter of a successful New Jersey lawyer and a doctor ditched her troubled boyfriend. Rosenblum is distraught over the breakup, sources said.
The former lovebirds were busted when cops raided their apartment last February as part of a sweep of the Mott Street building of Hoffman’s suspected drug dealer Robert Vineberg — after the beloved actor’s fatal heroin overdose.
No evidence ever emerged that the trio had any connection with the fatal batch of heroin that killed the “Capote” actor.
“I want to make it very clear not only was my client not involved in distribution of the deadly dose to Mr. Hoffman, she was never involved in the distribution of narcotics to anyone,” said Turano as he left court.
Rosenblum also took a no-jail plea deal. And Vineberg, a friend of Hoffman, was diverted to a rehab program instead of jail. The jazz musician, who has recorded with Amy Winehouse and Wyclef Jean, had 250 glassines of heroin in his apartment, authorities said.
