Civil filings from 2015 allege that employees of MC2 Models, headed by a longtime Epstein associate, told attorney Bradley Edwards \u2014 a representative for the victims \u2014 that Epstein\u2019s \u201cnumerous condos at 301 East 66 Street\u201d were used to house young models brought from overseas on promises of work. According to sworn statements referenced in litigation, visas were arranged and the girls were charged rent.<\/p>\n
One complaint alleges Epstein provided \u201cliving quarters\u201d at 301 East 66th Street, along with car service and other benefits, as inducement to maintain sexual compliance.<\/p>\n
In a 2015 email, an associate wrote to Epstein that a young woman was \u201casking what apartment can become hers\u201d and listed available options: 11J, 11B, 11P, 8A, and 10B \u2014 noting that another unit was being renovated. The message asked plainly: \u201cWhat apartment do you want to call her own?\u201d<\/p>\n
Emails also show Epstein\u2019s driver, identified as \u201cJojo,\u201d instructed to collect \u201cthe girls\u201d from the building at 8:15 a.m. and deliver them to the 71st Street townhouse by 8:30.<\/p>\n
\u201cJE would like everyone to be at the house at 8:30am,\u201d Jojo wrote.<\/p>\n

Another message describes waiting for a young girl\u2019s arrival at JFK, bringing her to 301 to \u201csettle in\u201d before taking her \u201cover.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other apartments, according to the documents, include Nos. 10F and 10N. The former, with one-bedroom, has a balcony, according to a 2023 listing. The latter, also a one-bedroom, describes eastern exposures that flood the unit with light all day, according to a 2024 listing.<\/p>\n
The ownership structure \u2014 and Mark Epstein\u2019s role<\/p>\n
Property records show that a majority of the building\u2019s roughly 200 units \u2014 more than 150 \u2014 are owned by an entity called 301 66 Owners Corp., which shares an address with Ossa Properties, the company run by Epstein\u2019s brother, Mark Epstein.<\/p>\n
Mark, who declined to comment for this story, has previously said he bought the building in the early 1990s and has denied operational knowledge of his brother\u2019s conduct there. The internal emails show that Jeffrey Epstein was informed when units became available and was looped into renovation and logistics planning.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never saw him but I always heard he owned the building,\u201d a longtime resident, who also declined to share her name, told The Post of Mark.<\/p>\n
At the same time, high-profile visitors \u2014 including academics, foreign officials and politically connected figures \u2014 were offered free or short-term stays.<\/p>\n

In a March 2011 email, Anthony Barrett of Ossa notified Jeffrey Epstein that unit 12B, an estate sale, was \u201ccoming to market\u201d and asked whether he had \u201cany interest.\u201d The note detailed price expectations and the apartment\u2019s unrenovated condition. It reads like a standard investment inquiry, but within the broader email trove, it underscores how closely Jeffrey was tied to inventory inside the building.<\/p>\n
Fifteen units \u2014 and counting<\/p>\n
A 2012 internal email from longtime assistant Lesley Groff lists some 15 apartments tied to Epstein\u2019s orbit, including:<\/p>\n
5P (studio) for staffers \u201cLynn and Jojo\u201d<\/p>\n
7J (one-bedroom) for Jean-Luc Brunel<\/p>\n
11P (studio) for Dana<\/p>\n
4G (one-bedroom) for Sarah<\/p>\n
8A (studio) for Renata, later reassigned<\/p>\n
2C (one-bedroom) labeled \u201cJE\u2019s brother\u201d<\/p>\n
10N designated \u201cGuest Apartment\u201d<\/p>\n
11B marked \u201cGuest Apt\u201d<\/p>\n
4M, another \u201cGuest Apt.\u201d<\/p>\n
By 2016, correspondence shows a smaller active roster but continued rotation. In one exchange, Groff wrote: \u201c11J is Ehud and Nili \u2026 they seem to have taken the apartment over \u2026 they installed an alarm system!\u201d This note refers to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and his wife, Nili Priel, who stayed in the building on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n
The address functioned like a discreet hospitality suite. In one email, a guest was told: \u201cYou will stay in 3M. Code is 7002!\u201d In another, Epstein instructed that if flight details were sent, \u201cmy car and driver will pick you up at the airport, and take you to 301 east 66.\u201d<\/p>\n
In one exchange obtained by The Post, Epstein told a contact he could offer \u201ca one bedroom at 301 east 66,\u201d pitching it as an alternative to a hotel or an Airbnb. <\/p>\n
The offering of free, furnished Manhattan apartments, even to wealthy visitors, was currency for Epstein to keep high-profile names in his debt.<\/p>\n

The guest list<\/p>\n
The email records show an unusually broad and eclectic list of other occupants and short-term guests:<\/p>\n
Jean-Luc Brunel, Epstein\u2019s longtime associate and head of MC2 Models, had unit 7J.<\/p>\n
Ehud Barak, former Israeli prime minister, and his wife Nili stayed in 11J.<\/p>\n
Yoni Koren, an Israeli intelligence officer and aide to Barak, stayed in the building.<\/p>\n
Cecile de Jongh, former First Lady of the US Virgin Islands, visited in 2017.<\/p>\n
Lawrence Krauss, the theoretical physicist, was offered apartment 10F \u2014 described in an email as \u201cone bedroom, nice brand new apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Martin Nowak, a Harvard professor and later beneficiary of Epstein\u2019s estate, requested stays multiple times.<\/p>\n
Moshe Hoffman, affiliated with Harvard and MIT Media Lab.<\/p>\n
Joscha Bach, an AI researcher whose children\u2019s private-school tuition was paid by Epstein, requested apartments during visits.<\/p>\n
Stephen Kosslyn, former Stanford neuroscientist.<\/p>\n
Peter Attia, the physician and longevity influencer, appears in the email chains as a guest.<\/p>\n
Jack Goldberger, Epstein\u2019s West Palm Beach defense attorney in 2008, requested weekend stays.<\/p>\n
Eva Andersson-Dubin, a former model who dated Epstein and later married hedge-fund billionaire Glenn Dubin, lived there and later arranged units for staff and friends.<\/p>\n
Larry Visoski, Epstein\u2019s longtime pilot, regularly requested units for himself and other pilots.<\/p>\n
The ranch manager of Epstein\u2019s New Mexico property inquired about staying.<\/p>\n
Romanian painter Ion Nicola, who worked on Epstein\u2019s properties, stayed there.<\/p>\n
Assistant Sarah Kellen, who received immunity in Epstein\u2019s 2008 plea deal, registered her business at the building.<\/p>\n
Groff herself operated from a 10th-floor unit, as did Epstein\u2019s attorney and estate co-executor Darren Indyke.<\/p>\n
Steve Bannon, political strategist visited Epstein. <\/p>\n
In text exchanges from 2018 obtained by The Post, Epstein texts Bannon: \u201cI\u2019m in New York tonite thru sat, if you want to visit under the cover of darkness or breakfast tomorrow if you like.\u201d To which Bannon responds: \u201cDo u have access that\u2019s not the front door \u2014 they have 24\/7 surveillance on you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Renovated, standardized, controlled<\/p>\n
The renovation documents reveal systematic upgrades across units:<\/p>\n
2G: new kitchen work, crown molding, window treatments, radiator covers.<\/p>\n
10N: bleached floor finish, full kitchen and bathroom renovation, new lighting.<\/p>\n
11B: new wood floors, crown and trim \u201cto hide wires,\u201d radiator covers, kitchen and bath overhaul.<\/p>\n
10B: new bathroom, new cabinets, trim work.<\/p>\n
8H and 8A: kitchen cabinet replacements and cosmetic updates.<\/p>\n
3M: cabinetry and closet work.<\/p>\n
The repeated reference to trim installed \u201cto hide wires\u201d appears across multiple units.<\/p>\n
Even paint colors required approval. In 2018, Karyna Shulyak \u2014 Epstein\u2019s companion \u2014\u00a0 responded to a repainting quote by writing it looked \u201ccorrect\u201d and that she would \u201cchoose the color with him when he is back.\u201d<\/p>\n
When a former house manager complained in 2014 of burned-out lightbulbs, chipped glasses and moldy closets, Epstein replied with one word: \u201coutrageous.\u201d He authorized restocking silverware and household goods.<\/p>\n
In another exchange about heating issues, he ordered: \u201cBuy two large space heaters Today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Epstein would allegedly take these underage girls from the condo building to his Manhattan townhouse for massages and sexual compliance. DOJ<\/p>\n
The quiet address<\/p>\n
Today, 301 E. 66th Street remains what it has long appeared to be: a conventional Upper East Side condo building with a doorman and roof deck. A furnished one-bedroom rented there on Friday for roughly $5,500 per month, according to StreetEasy. No units are currently listed for sale.<\/p>\n
Mark Epstein still controls a substantial share of the building\u2019s units and has been active in local development disputes.<\/p>\n
