The only other “bay” (scare quotes because as with Pelham it’s technically not a bay) in the Bronx is Eastchester Bay, which is between City Island and Country Club/Throggs Neck. Let me know if you find the address I’d be very keen to know.
Just went back and looked at what I have, and my memory was wrong -- I never found an address for when he lived in the Bronx area.

It was his Fort Lee home that closely matched the description of the home Bill Bonanno mentioned in Pelham. The Fort Lee home was very large, overlooked the Hudson River, and was on a dead end. Maybe he confused the location and body of water.

The Chiris lived in Yonkers before New Jersey. No indication they ever lived near Pelham Bay which adds doubt to Bonanno's memory along with it being unlikely he had an NY home that matched his Fort Lee home so closely.

He lived at 3172 Rochambeau Ave., Bronx in 1930.

Thanks, man. Doesn't even remotely match the location described by Bill, so another indication he may have been thinking of the Fort Lee home.

I'm not aware of Chirico being an underboss in 1931. Anastasia was Mangano's underboss. James Le Pore, I believe, was Scalise's underboss.
Another doc I found has Valachi saying that Jimmy LePore (Jimmy Marino) was a caporegime.
