I do not know NYC specifically but every other state/city/county I have looked at requires a current DL - it's kind of part of the job. :/

Becoming an unemployed EMT-B.... No need for a license
Employed as an EMT-B.... It will be very difficult.
Volunteering as an EMT-B until you get your license.... Definately OK as many volunteers are just "drivers" and not EMTs.

As said, you can beome an unemployed EMT-B or a volunteer EMT-B without a driver's license. If you want to get paid, you need one.
