NY isn't a "city code", it's the abbreviation for the State of New York. A US state is an administrativeArea as far as MKPlacemark / CLPlacemark is concerned. The geocoder only provides one canonical city name -- if you want an abbreviation for it, you'll have to look somewhere else.

Also note that on iOS 5.0 and newer, you should be using CLGeocoder , not the deprecated MKReverseGeocoder .
