Yes, in known earthquake zones I would expect some testing, but in places like NYC I'm not sure.
In a few minutes searching I didn't find any reference to required testing of old buildings for structural or materials integrity.

The state does not maintain any kind of testing program of private buildings. One exception is the mandatory retrofit programs implemented by some cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
