Traditionally the Genovese, Gambino, Lucchese were the 3 main crews. Bonanno and Colombo had little to do up there. Same with the DeCav's

That's correct. Arthur avenue area was mainly Genovese and Gambino. Further east you had more Lucchese crews headed by Mike Salerno whose HQ was Larry's Tobacco shop and also Luis "Gigi the whale" inglese ran a huge heroin drug ring out if his Westchester avenue Hq. Stevie crea's social club was just across the street. Patty "from the Bronx" Defillippo represented the Bonanno contingent in that area at his waterbury Aquarius Social Club. Vinny Gorgeous was initially in that crew until he broke off and became a Capo of a separate Bronx crew mainly centered in the Throggs Neck/Country Club etc section. Sally Daz was an associate of his. He ran machines out of Daz amusements and put up Vinnys gf in one of the apartments he owned on Tierney Place.
