[Edited to correct typo]
First you need to define polygons for each of the boroughs.
If you don't have the data from some source, like the Census Bureau,
and you only want NYC boroughs, then you can define them by tracing
them in a utility like this:
http://facstaff.unca.edu/mcmcclur/GoogleMaps/EncodePolyline/tracker.html
Once you've done that, add the polygons to the code of your mashup,
for example
var Manhattan = new GPolygon.fromEncoded( ... etc.
Finally, after geocoding, test the latlon you got from the geocoder
using
if (Manhattan.getBounds().containsLatLng(latlng)) {
alert('Point is in Manhattan');
}
