The projects are split. Some of the buildings are in The Bronx and some are in Manhattan.
Yes the border of the projects are literally somewhere between say 228th and 230th street west of Broadway for sure. East of Broadway I would think just about all of the projects are in the Bronx, since they are north of 225th street on the eastern side. If the OP looks at a map they can see that the boundaries aren't cut and dry in terms a street because you don't get a street grid until you reach 230th street.
A part of me also wonders if there's any political history regarding the border of Marble Hill and Kingsbridge. What I mean by that is between the two neighborhoods, I think Kingsbridge gets sort of lost and overshadowed by Marble Hill and of course Riverdale.
On the second page of that .pdf, on that table, whatever building has a BIN # thats starts with 1 is in Manhattan and whatever BIN # starts with 2 means that that building is in the Bronx. Only NYCHA split between 2 boroughs.
Around my way we have a project so large its in 2 different zip codes. Edgemere is in 11691 and 11692. So half the project has to go all the way to Mott Avenue for the post office if they need to, and the other half gets to walk 4-5 blocks away.

It's funny. I didn't realize that much of Marble Hill extended east of Broadway to include so many projects. In my mind if I crossed the street on the other side of Target, I was in the Bronx. Interesting. The other thing I think about is how West Kingsbridge Rd suddenly becomes 225th, but that little street (Exterior street) is essentially almost like the border of the Bronx (along 225th anyway). Even on the Eastern side of Broadway though, the Manhattan border isn't all the way up to 230th but that's the next closest street.
What's interesting too is the Marble Hill Metro-North station is technically in Manhattan, but the (MTA) treats it as if it is in the Bronx.
It seems like most Marble Hill residents consider the whole neighborhood to be the Bronx
Yeah, geography isn't exactly a populist subject. For map nerds like me, here is the boundry:
The story is that Manhattan has always been an Island as long as man has been here. But the Harlem River to the North was too small for large ship traffic. So they dug a canal straight across and CLIPPED the fingertip of Manhattan Island which created an isolated mini Island. When they filled in the old river it was connected to the Bronx but still officially Manhattan
I grew up around the area (Inwood, just below it), and not once did I ever consider it to be a part of Manhattan.
Yeah because you never inquired... Just assumed it was across the bridge so it was in the Bronx. I will say that from an architectural standpoint if you just walked along Broadway there's no difference between say 225th and 230th... It looks quintessential Bronx, but some of the side streets have some very unique houses which I don't associate with the Bronx at all.
