If you can get hold of a book called "It Happened In New York", then according to Amazon's reviews, there is a section called "Potpourri of Facts" which includes the number of buildings in Manhattan.
I couldn't tell you how many buildings there are in my village, but using aerial photography, it must be perfectly possible to estimate such information.

As per the owner of the first site I referenced via e-mail:
www.didik.com/nycinpictures/archive.htm
"There are about 110,000 separate blocks and lots, though this includes such things as vacant lots, air rights, condominiums and certain utility easements. The actual number of lots with "improvements" which includes apartment buildings, private homes, office buildings, temporary structures, garages and similar is about 69,000.
So it would be fair to say Approx: 69,000

Roughly 100,000 based on NYC Department of finance real property statistics. More precisely, according to the "ANNUAL REPORT ON THE NYC REAL PROPERTY TAX, Fiscal Year 2006," by the City of New York Department of Finance, p.2 (p.8 in the PDF), there are 104,381 taxable parcels in Manhattan, of which 1404 constitute vacant land. There are also buildings classed as garages and utility buildings that you may not want to include in the total.
The total count of buildings for NYC is roughly 900,000 according to the same source.
