According to the first Related Link (see below), Edgar Street is the shortest, at 63 feet (19 meters). However, according to the measurements I got from Google Maps, Edgar Street is actually 131.25 feet (40 meters) long. Edgar Street is located in the Financial District. Its one-block span runs between Greenwich Street and Trinity Place, one block south of Rector Street.

According to the New York Times (see the second Related Link) Mill Lane is the shortest. Oddly enough, the writer of the Times article apparently did not think it necessary to provide the length of Mill Lane, but, according to the measurements I got from Google Maps, it is just a hair's breadth shorter than 100 feet (30.5 meters) in length.

So, at this time, Mill Lane seems the most likely contender for the title of Shortest New York City Street. Mill Lane is also located in the Financial District. Its one-block span runs between South William Street and the eastern stretch of Stone Street (a tiny street that is actually two streets, as its path is broken), one block south of Hanover Square.
