In August of 2022, a gut renovation finally began on Jeffrey Epstein’s former Manhattan residence, instructed by new owner Michael Daffey (the former chairman of Goldman’s Global Markets Division). Bloomberg reported that Daffey received a $30 million dollar loan from Citigroup Inc. in order to secure the sale and renovation of the property. Per the Daily Mail, the work being done is described as the “renovation of an existing single-family dwelling” and that no add-ons will be made along the makeover of the space.
The part that doesn’t add up? The building permits attached to the home, show that they expire at the end of 2022 — and there is a lot of work to be done. “They are planning a complete makeover, physically and spiritually,” a source close to Daffey told the New York Post, noting that the former chairman was set on eradicating any memory of the horrific events that occurred in the mansion. With all of Epstein’s former possessions cleared out of the townhouse, the insider added, “There was no creepy weird stuff in it at all.”

Top broker Dolly Lenz, who was initially involved with attempting to sell the property, praised Daffey’s decision to buy it, telling the New York Post, “I think he made a smart move, however, it will be a long time before people forget it was a place were children were abused. But he’s betting on it long-term. That’s what some people do.”
