FYI, NYC has recently begun free online access to birth, marriage and death certificates. Not all dates are there and their search by name misses a LOT of people.

But it is a start.
Digital Vital Records - Historical Vital Records of NYC
shows what years have been uploaded. Warning they include the year even if only one document from that year is online.
Then you chose either the beta search function or browse by year and borough. So far there are 10 million documents to view. Happy hunting.
