The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles states that inspection stickers expire at the end of the month punched out on the sticker.

So if you are from NYS and your inspection sticker is punched for October than you have until the end of October to get your car inspected and a new inspection sticker placed on your vehicle. It appears at some point in time they had an extra hole to punch for which part of the month the inspection sticker expired however the NYS DMV states that the DMV has returned to the old policy which is that the sticker expires at the end of the month.

Make sure you get your new inspection sticker before your current one expires. In New York if the inspection sticker on your vehicle has expired in the past 60 days, you can receive a fine of $25 to $50. If the inspection sticker is expired more than 60 days, the fine is between $50 and $100. If there is no inspection sticker, the fine is between $50 and $100. Mandatory state surcharges of up to $55 are added to the fine.
