Bronxville Police Blotter: May 24 to May 28, 2014



Saturday, May 24:  At 7:07 am at 1 Depot Plaza, Bronxville Taxi reported that 62-year-old Jorge Alvarez of White Plains was involved in a taxi fare dispute with a cab driver and was causing a disturbance. Officers responded and discovered that Alvarez had an active bench warrant signed by a Bedford judge for criminal trespass in the 3rd degree. Alvarez was arrested on the warrant, and Bedford police officers responded to Bronxville police headquarters to take Alvarez into their custody.

Saturday, May 24:  At 7:51 am at 25 Pondfield Road, it was reported that sometime overnight an unknown person sealed the front door lock cylinder of the Gramatan Barber Shop with crazy glue. Police officer Ulrich was able to assist in opening the door by dipping the key into nail polish remover, thus freeing the cylinder for operation. 

Wednesday, May 28:  At 11:21 am on Palumbo Avenue, 57-year-old Danilo Beltran of Mount Vernon was arrested by Police Officer Brenton Dorre after the officer's vehicle-equipped license plate reader alerted him that the registration on the 2013 Lexus that Beltran was operating was suspended effective 03/24/2014 due to insurance not in effect. An inquiry on Beltran's NYS driver's license revealed that it was also suspended effective 04/24/2014 due to insurance not in effect. Beltran's vehicle was impounded. He was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation in the 3rd degree and operating a vehicle with a suspended registration (both misdemeanors) and ordered to appear in Bronxville Justice Court on June 18, 2014.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
