The short answer: July 1.
I phoned my program to find out since I had to make a decision about international air travel, but the best the PD could tell me was July 1 with ACLS etc. and the university/hospital orientation occurring after - although he is not sure if there will be any changes this year.
Guess I'll touchdown early in the last week of June.

The PD at Brigham sent the new residents-to-be an email. From reading it, I got the impression that things will start in July.
Some programs want you to be there the last week or so in june, because orientation occurs then. Others, orientation events start in July. It varies, so they will probably tell you, although surprisingly I wouldn't expect to hear anything very quickly from most places. For some reason they think this information isn't that important. 😕
UCSF - Orientation begins June 14th, start work on the 21st.

That is for IM (my prelim year). I just presumed that it was the same date for all UCSF programs. Maybe it isn't.

Sometimes path does things differently - I know at my program every other residency program (the PGY1 ones anyway) had to be here June 20th or so, but my first day was 7/1 and that was a day of orientation, because we didn't need to go through a lot of the same orientation activities as the clinical med folks. Don't know if other institutions are similar though.
