Narrative:

SID calls for initial level off of 1500 ft until a specified DME off teb and then climb to 2000 ft. I; as captain; depended on my first officer; who is highly experienced and has flown out of teb many times; to read the departure and set up the panel. He did not notice the 1500 ft leveloff and put 2000 ft in the altitude window. I made the error of not cross checking the departure. On initial climb; ny departure asked if we were going to level at 1500 ft as we were passing 1300 ft. Aircraft momentarily went to 1600 ft before we got back down to 1500 ft. Slower rate of climb due to noise abatement procedure kept us from overshooting more than 100 ft. Two people need to be present when copying ATC clrncs and both should review departure procedures.
