The Nondescript Condo Building Where Jeffrey Epstein Kept His Victims

"Everyone knows about the Gilded Age mansion gifted to Jeffrey Epstein by Les Wexner, where he hosted dinner parties for famous men and lured underage girls to his massage room. That mansion, like Epstein's Palm Beach compound and the complex on his private Caribbean island, was opulent and filled with creepy décor, including a bronze bride statue hanging in the stairwell, a taxidermied tiger and poodle, and cameras mounted in the corners of bedrooms."

"More than a dozen apartments in 301 East 66th Street, a 200-unit postwar condo building, appear repeatedly in the files. Some of the apartments were for Epstein's "girls," as the emails refer to his victims - marked in Epstein's address book as "Apts. for models," The Wall Street Journal reported in 2019 - but he offered other units to visiting friends, acquaintances, foreign dignitaries, employees, and any number of people in his orbit."

Jeffrey Epstein maintained multiple properties beyond his well-known mansion and private island, including an ordinary white-brick building at 301 East 66th Street. More than a dozen apartments in the 200-unit postwar condo were repeatedly used to house his victims, labeled in his address book as "Apts. for models," and to accommodate friends, acquaintances, foreign dignitaries, employees, and others in his orbit. The studio and one-bedroom units functioned as favors that created leverage and indebtedness. Between 2009 and 2019, assistants and housekeepers managed roughly 15 furnished apartments in an operation resembling short-term rentals. High demand sometimes required hotel comping when the building was fully occupied.
