Muito obrigado desde já.

The two-three and the four-six are police jargon for the twenty-third and forty-sixth precincts, respectively. Tricorner is probably the name of a neighborhood. If the person "hangs his hat at he four-six in tricorner" it means that he is assigned to the forty sixth precinct station in the tricorner neighborhood.
