Republicans held the predecessor seat, because Democrats lost a usually safe seat in 2010 due to a corruption scandal. The gerrymander attempted to shore up the incumbent, whilst still leaving him enough of his base to win a primary.

Is there some kind of requirement that NY State Senators have to live in their districts?

No, but it helps a lot in a primary.
