Most likely it is a projection issue. Take a look at your .prj file and swap it with another that is appropriate for the new york region. 

Or:

Check if the output from the initial projection looks more like lat and long in decimal degrees... in that case you might re-project from lat long in an additional step.

Thank you for your suggestions! I used QGIS to examine the shape files and noticed that no matter what CRS I used the projection remained the same. At that point I started to suspect it wasn't carrying over somehow, but was not sure. I'll check the steps you've listed and see if I can resolve.

Also, side note as I am a little new, where is the folder that would have the .prj file in it?
