California is on a tectonic plate boundary. When the plates move past each other, an earthquake happens. There is no boundary running through New York.

Why haven't new york city buildings been built to withstand earthquakes?

The buildings in New York City have no real reason to be built sturdy enough to survive earthquakes. New York is not in any real danger of earthquakes. This is because New York is in the middle of a tectonic plate. Tectonic plates make up the earth's surface, and the action of these plates rubbing against each other or colliding with each other is what causes earthquakes. A place like San Francisco, on the other hand, is on the edge of a plate, so this is the reason buildings in that area are built stronger.
