NYC codes are very particular, best to check with the local inspector.

Keep in mind, if PVC is installed horizontally, it needs more straps than code requires, as it will sag. And if it runs any distance, it will need an expansion coupling.

I never recommend running PVC conduit exposed horizontally, especially outdoors.
