I recently wrote to a friend who works in Law enforcement in NY City here is his answer about air gun laws in NY.
1) They are prohibited in NY City (Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, etc..) unless you have secured a license from the Police Commissioner.
2) In the rest of the State, they are prohibited by anyone under the age of 16 AND they are prohibited on school grounds UNLESS "permission has been granted by the educational facility for use on their property yada yada yada....."
I have found nothing that says anything regarding possession by an adult as long as its propellant in "spring loaded or CO2".....

As for WHY they are prohibited, it's probably because New York City is an extremely densely populated city, with up to 70,000 people per square mile. It is simply too dangerous to go around shooting guns -- even BB guns -- when there are so many people crowded together. However, there are a few shooting ranges in the city that you can go to.
