There is a fault line that runs through the western portion of New York state. Including, buffalo/niagara region. This fault line is named the Clarendon-Linden fault line. Although, we do not see steady recordable action from the fault line (like that of the San Andreas in western U.S.) it is considered a moderate seismic risk. This would classify most earthquakes created from the fault line around a 5.0 magnitude on the Richter scale.

Where are the fault lines on East Coast of US?

Fault lines are really located everywhere, but it's usually the major fault lines that you need to worry about. The recent Virginia earthquake, which occurred on Aug. 23, 2011, was not related to any major geological fault line. However, geologists are concerned with the New York-Alabama Lineament, which is a major magnetic fault line that runs from New York to Alabama.
