Which one is right?
I have been to New York in 2015.
and
I went to New York in 2015.
I think the first one is wrong and the second one is right.
but still, I am not sure if we can use 'in time' in present perfect.

1The second is correct. New York is two words. the first and should be or. You can use the present perfect with /time/ if the time continues to today. In other words if it is still 2015! But it's 2021! This is right: "I went to New York in 2015 and I have been there twice in 2021" This may help.– Old BrixtonianMay 5, 2021 at 13:07

The second is fine in its own but you could say something like "I had been to NY in 2015, but not recently."– epsMay 5, 2021 at 15:40

I have been to New York = I went to New York and returned after a short time.
I went to New York = I went to New York. I may or may not have stayed there.
“In” can be used with any time. For example “I plan to go to New York in 2025 at the latest”.
