By Staff
Apr. 6, 2020: Below is an audio message sent by Bronxville Chief of Police, Christopher Satriale, and Mayor Mary Marvin on April 6, 2020, at 7:27 PM.
In this message, Chief Satriale reports that positive cases of COVID 19 have tripled in Bronxville since the village first starting tracking cases. He also says that now more than ever, people need to follow the recommendations of Dr. Anthony Fauci and practice social distancing practices to "flatten the curve."
Chief Satriale says that locally, "we have seen a great deal of cooperation with social distancing requests and stay at home orders" but that "some still continue to violate" these orders. He says that the Bronxville Police will be enforcing the $1,000 fine recently set by Governor Cuomo.
He asked people to "Stay home. Stay Safe and Save Lives."
Mayor Marvin said that Bronxville has always had a strong reputation as a community "that rallies around each other in times of crisis."
She asked people "to reach out to a neighbor" by phone or email "just to check in on them, make sure they have adequate food and medicine, and some needed conversation."
Finally, she said that "the kindest thing you can do right now today is to stay home."

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.
