The article provides “some additional information about the dates when those 15 USA cities are expected to be flooded” although most of the information is a bit hazy.

Miami said to be the first.
“Take advantage of the clubs and restaurants before 2050 (and perhaps even before the mid-2020s) because environmental writer Jeff Goodell predicts that Miami may be underwater sooner than you think.”
2025 or 2050?

New York City makes the list. Here actually numbers are provided; “New predictions suggest that sea levels may rise 4-8 inches over the next decade…”

Going with six inches:
6in x 25.4 = 152mm
So that works out to an average of 15mm per year. There would need to be a 4x increase in the current rate of sea level rise – effective immediately. I would place that in the ‘extremely unlikely’ category of projections.
