To my knowledge there is no website containing numerous volumes of the Brooklyn city directories. These books are on microfilm and are available at several institutions in NYC, but libraries and societies will generally only do simple lookups in a small number of directorioes, sometimes for a fee. If you are seeking a common name with multiple entries, it will complicate the search.
I can't take on lengthy research tasks because of a complete lack of time. You may be able to hire a genealogical researcher in the NY area, or you can contact the Brooklyn Public Library (Get their website from Google or your favorite search engine) and inquire about a search for a limited number of years.
