I think he lived in Bronsville or in East New York. I know someone who used to attend his weekly Shiur on Leil Shishi. He was also delivering then a Shiur in Mogen Avrohom of the Turisker Magid.
They were 4 brothers Rabbis here inthe US, at one pint was Reb Shimon Rabbi in Boston, see here:

There might have been an article in a Hamodia Magazine which might have mentioned Rav Esrog.
על מציבת זוגתו הרבנית חיה דבורה כתוב: בהרה”ח ר’ אברהם שמעון נכדת הגאון הקדוש מרן מוה”ר חיים אבולאפיע זצוק”ל והגאון הקדוש מרן ה’באר מים חיים, זצוק”ל זי”ע
His son in law Rabbi Chaim Twersky was just niftar, and was also intered in Wellwood Cemetery.

RYD served as Dayan in Tzefas and later as Rabbi in many cities and towns here in the US, including; Portlan, Utica, Los Angeles and others
Was he a talmid of the Ridvaz?
This wouldn’t be surprising as his father taught in the yeshiva of the Ridvaz (ישיבת תורת ארץ ישראל) and his brother Dovid was also affiliated with the yeshiva according to these links:
