Depends where in NY you are. For NYC area, while it's getting late and
past optimum, I'd say you still have a week left, especially if you use
a seed that is faster germinating, (fescue, rye, instead of blue
grass). It's definitely warm enough to get the seed germinated, what
you are dealing with then is how much time it has left to get
established before it gets really cold. And that of course depends on
the weather.

If you're talking about Niagra Falls, that's another story.

Not starting a new lawn, but fixing dead spots. I have to say this is
a great time of year to seed. The wet cool weather has done wonders.

Good luck,
