A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus NewYork Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Inc., covering the 12-month period from June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010.

Psychology historically has played an important role in how investors —especially individual investors — perceive the financial markets and make asset allocation decisions. Unlike the purely rational investor who, in an ideal world, would seek investments that potentially can deliver the best risk/return characteristics, the everyday investor typically has been influenced by emotions. Currently, investors’ emotions appear to be deeply divided, with a large number still seeking low risk investments (such as cash instruments), and others favoring higher risk investments (such as smaller-cap and emerging market stocks). Meanwhile, investment classes in the middle of the risk spectrum seemingly have been largely avoided.

It is important to note that investor sentiment often lags the economic cycle.That’s why we continue to stress the importance of a long-term, well balanced asset allocation strategy that can help cushion the volatility produced by the emotional swings of the financial markets. If you have not revisited your investment portfolio recently, we urge you to speak with your financial advisor about taking advantage of long-term market fundamentals rather than remaining susceptible to the effects of emotional reactions to short-term developments.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010, as provided by Thomas Casey and David Belton, Portfolio Managers

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2010, Dreyfus New York Tax Exempt Bond Fund achieved a total return of 8.86%.¹The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”), a broadly diversified index comprised of municipal bonds issued in states from across the nation, the fund’s benchmark, achieved a total return of 8.52% for the same period.²

Municipal bonds generally continued to gain value over the reporting period amid robust demand for a limited supply of securities.The fund produced modestly higher returns than its benchmark, primarily due to the success of our security selection strategy.

On a separate note, Thomas Casey and David Belton became the primary portfolio managers of the fund in December 2009.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal, NewYork state and NewYork city income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital.To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal, New York state and New York city personal income taxes. The dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund’s portfolio normally exceeds 10 years, but the fund may invest without regard to maturity. The fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal bonds rated below investment grade (“junk” bonds) or the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus.

We focus on identifying undervalued sectors and securities, and we minimize the use of interest rate forecasting. We select municipal bonds by using fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative

value and attractiveness of various sectors and securities and to exploit pricing inefficiencies in the municipal bond market.We actively trade among various sectors, such as pre-refunded, general obligation and revenue, based on their apparent relative values.

Municipal Bonds Rebounded with U.S. Economy

An improving U.S. economy bolstered confidence among consumers, businesses and investors during the reporting period. However, unemployment has remained stubbornly high, and the pace of the economic recovery so far has proved to be slower than historical averages. In addition, most states, including New York, have continued to struggle with declining tax revenues and intensifying demand for services. In light of these challenges, the Federal Reserve Board left short-term interest rates unchanged throughout the reporting period in a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%.

In this environment, the national municipal bond market was influenced by improving investor sentiment. In addition, municipal bonds were supported by favorable supply-and-demand dynamics. Issuance of new tax-exempt bonds moderated significantly due to the federally subsidized Build America Bonds program, part of the stimulus package that shifted a substantial portion of new issuance to the taxable bond market. Meanwhile, demand for municipal bonds intensified as individual and institutional investors sought alternatives to low yielding money market funds. Consequently, longer-term municipal bond yields trended downward, on average, over the reporting period. For much of the reporting period, performance was stronger among lower-rated municipal bonds that had been punished severely during the downturn, while bonds backed by general tax revenues generally lagged market averages.

Security Selection Strategy Supported Fund Returns

In light of the subpar economic recovery, low nominal yields and tight credit spreads, we maintained a bias toward higher-quality securities.We generally favored municipal bonds backed by revenues from utilities,

transportation resources, dedicated taxes and private higher education that our credit analysts considered fundamentally sound and relatively liquid.We generally avoided general obligation bonds and bonds backed by annual appropriation. The fund also benefited from underweighted exposure to municipal bonds for which the money for early redemption has been placed in escrow.

Supply-and-Demand Factors May Remain Favorable

We remain optimistic about the overall market’s long-term prospects. Demand seems likely to stay robust as investors grow increasingly concerned regarding potential income tax increases on the state and federal levels. In addition, the Build America Bonds program may be extended beyond its current expiration date at the end of this year, which could keep the national supply of new tax-exempt bonds relatively low. Consequently, we have continued to focus on higher-quality, revenue-backed bonds.

	Bond funds are subject generally to interest rate, credit, liquidity and market risks, to varying
	degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors
	being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause
	price declines.
1	Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no
	guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon
	redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Income may be subject
	to state and local taxes for non-NewYork residents, and some income may be subject to the federal
	alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Capital gains, if any, are fully taxable.
2	SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends and, where applicable, capital
	gain distributions.The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged
	and geographically unrestricted total return performance benchmark for the long-term, investment-
	grade, tax-exempt bond market. Index returns do not reflect the fees and expenses associated with
	operating a mutual fund.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.The fund’s performance shown in the graph and table does not

reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Dreyfus NewYork Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Inc. on

5/31/00 to a $10,000 investment made in the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”) on that date.

All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund invests primarily in NewYork municipal securities and its performance shown in the line graph above takes

into account fees and expenses.The Index is not limited to investments principally in NewYork municipal obligations.

The Index, unlike the fund, is an unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the long-term, investment-grade,

geographically unrestricted tax-exempt bond market, calculated by using municipal bonds selected to be representative of

the municipal market overall.These factors can contribute to the Index potentially outperforming or underperforming the

fund. Unlike a mutual fund, the Index is not subject to charges, fees and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly

in any index. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is

contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds.You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

Review your fund’s expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus NewYork Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Inc. from December 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus New York Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income exempt from federal, New York state and NewYork city income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) has become the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Directors. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted

The Fund 33

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Financial futures and options on municipal and U.S.Treasury securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of May 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:


		Level 2—Other	Level 3—
	Level 1—	Significant	Significant
	Unadjusted	Observable	Unobservable
	Quoted Prices	Inputs	Inputs	Total
Assets ($)
Investments in Securities:
Municipal Bonds	—	1,433,807,540	—	1,433,807,540

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about FairValue Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecur-ring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s financial statement disclosures.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The Fund 35

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The fund has arrangements with the custodian and cash management bank whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody and cash management fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended May 31, 2010, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended May 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At May 31,2010,the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax exempt income $681,758, accumulated capital losses $2,771,501 and unrealized appreciation $63,440,368.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to May 31, 2010. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2018.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009 were as follows: tax exempt income $55,317,696 and $56,416,734, ordinary income $0 and $95,422 and long-term capital gains $0 and $1,519,300, respectively.

During the period ended May 31, 2010, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for amortization adjustments, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $93,913 and increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund

The Fund 37

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.

The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended May 31, 2010 was approximately $13,200 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.43%.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (“Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .60% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Agreement provides that if in any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the fund, exclusive of taxes, brokerage fees, interest on borrowings, commitment fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed 1¹/₂% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets, the fund may deduct from the payment to be made to the Manager or the Manager will bear, such excess expense. During the period ended May 31, 2010, there was no expense reimbu rsement pursuant to the Agreement.

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund reimburses the Distributor an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses of providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. During the period ended May 31, 2010, the fund was charged $670,715 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates DreyfusTransfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended May 31, 2010, the fund was charged $295,340 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.

The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a cash management agreement for performing cash management services related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended May 31, 2010, the fund was charged $35,496 pursuant to the cash management agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.These fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $1,936.

The fund also compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. During the period ended May 31, 2010, the fund was charged $91,328 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended May 31, 2010, the fund was charged $5,436 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $726,080, custodian fees $30,364, chief compliance officer fees $3,656 and transfer agency per account fees $82,575.

(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended May 31, 2010, amounted to $188,887,511 and $157,222,135, respectively.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements.The fund held no derivatives during the period ended May 31, 2010. These disclosures did not impact the notes to the financial statements.

The Fund 39

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Inverse Floater Securities: The fund may participate in secondary inverse floater structures in which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds purchased by the fund are transferred to a trust.The trust subsequently issues two or more variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds. One or more of these variable rate securities pays interest based on a short-term floating rate set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals. A residual interest tax-exempt security is also created by the trust, which is transferred to the fund, and is paid interest based on the remaining cash flow of the trust, after payment of interest on the other securities and various expenses of the trust.

The fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the trust as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the fund’s investments, and the related floating rate certificate securities reflected as fund liabilities under the caption, “Payable for floating rate notes issued” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the inverse floater structure during the period ended May 31, 2010, was approximately $10,000,000, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.02%.

At May 31,2010,the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,360,367,172; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $63,440,368, consisting of $73,754,223 gross unrealized appreciation and $10,313,855 gross unrealized depreciation.
