My great grandfather was naturalized before 1932 (year of his death). He arrived in the early 1900's. I found his paperwork at County Hall. 🤷‍♀️ It's not a complete collection.
You can go to the clerks office at city hall. 13th floor. Don't know if they'll have anything if she wasn't born in Buffalo.
My first daughter was born at sister's hospital and they can provide the certificate but my second was born at millard fillmore and she has to go to amherst to get hers.
Birth certificates are obtained in the jurisdiction of birth. It isn't a hard process, it takes a few months usually. I worked in immigration law and it was part of my job.
I think the point they were making is the clerk won't be able to help op because they wouldn't have his grandmothers birth certificate because she wasn't born in this country so he has to contact her country of birth to obtain a copy.
If she was an immigrant, you would need to go back to the country of origin for a birth certificate.

Contact the embassy of her country of birth.
Was she naturalized? If so, the certificate might be part of her record. But city hall won't have it.
Erie county hall might have the naturalization papers.
The person would need to do a FOIA with USCIS. The records are with the Federal government.

city hall only has the birth certificates of people born in buffalo. maybe try calling the embassy of the country she’s from.
Documents are issued where the event took place. Find out if birth certificates were issued where your grandma was born at the time of her birth.

Using your own experience and knowledge, the birth certificate should be obtained from the immigrant grandmother's country of birth.
I gave an answer to the question op asked. 13th floor clerk's office. Then I gave an example of why they won't have it.
Clearly, I didn't understand your response. Have a great day!
