you are a resident the day you move in.
but for things like voting or car registration, they will want some proof. a signed lease or home buying contract is good, so is a current utility bill that shows your new address.

I'm not sure about NY, but in Illinois, if you live here for 6 months, you must change Driver's license, vehicle registration, etc. to Illinois. This pretty well means you are a resident. To be certain about NY, contact the Department of Motor Vehicles and ask them.

It depends on why you want to claim residency. Sometimes to qualify for in-state tuition the school will have it own regulations. If you intend to stay there you have established "citizenship" in that state.

60 days or whenever you get that license or id card for ny state, whichever is sooner. And if you don't transfer your license within 60 days of living in a new state you'll be in a world of jeopardy.

You are a resident the day you move in, but you need to check whatever it is you are applying for to see how they define it (in state tuition or public assistance, for example)

Immediately. You just need a bill or two (light bill, phone bill, etc.) with your name and NY address on it to prove that you are a resident.
