It’s NOT John Gotti’s home. It was his daughter’s. He never lived there. You should check your sources of information before posting. Because this makes you look a fool.
If you know this is not John Gotti's house, nor was it purchased with his money, why wouldn't you change the title? Misinforming and knowing it? Trash. As you know now, the home belonged to his daughter Victoria and bought by her ex husband Carmine. They filmed "Growing up Gotti" in the home, it has no ties to John Gotti.
This house was never owned by John Gotti. It was originally owned by another mobster by the name of Carmine "The Bull" Agnello. He was an enforcer for the Gambino Crime Family during John Gotti's tenure as Don (Boss). Carmine married John Gotti's daughter, Victoria, in 1984. Carmine was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2001 for racketeering and arson. Victoria filed for divorce while he was in prison on the grounds of constructive abandonment and was awarded the house. Victoria Gotti has been trying to sell the house since 2008 with no interested buyers. The house was then threatened with foreclosure after Victoria fell behind on her mortgage payments in 2009. The house then hit headlines in 2016 after the FBI raided it in relation to a tax fraud investigation. Victoria Gotti and her brothers officially left the property in 2016 and are still trying to sell to this day. The current price tag is sitting at $2.6m.
Thank you...I knew this wasn't Gotti house but I do remember Victoria reality show with her son's was filmed here and yes this was her ex husband house that she took over from the divorce I'm glad somebody spoke facts💯
thanks for the truth saved me 35 mins, i knew this was bogus they could just sell the cars but something tells me they want to see the cars with the house to add extra mark up
….the books man…the books!!! This is why I could never do what you do. I would see an abandoned library and then spend the remainder of my time checking out every single title to get a feel of what kind of person lived there. But hats off to you man, love the vids.
@@mtl111mtl You do know this is not John Gottis house? His daughter and her husband whom worked for John bought it. Victoria Gotti had to foreclose on the house because she couldn't keep up with the up keep.
@@gjstein5418 It was never Johns. It was his daughters that she purchased with her ex husband Carmine. You watch way too many movies because it's not like that anymore. I do believe the home went into foreclosure and the bank owns it. I know she had been trying to sell it for years and in 2016 it was raided, along with her sons auto shop.
As soon as I saw the front of the house,I knew it was Victoria Gotti’s.Loved her reality show “Growing Up Gotti”(A&E 2004)I recall her yelling up that staircase at her teen boys.Even the couches r situated the same!Very nostalgic for those of us who watched the show
That home sits on 5 acres in Westbury, Long Island that property was stolen by John Gotti Sr and his thugs no mercy for those Italians that live that mob life cause they extort their own people so that means their trash but if they extorted all these other groups then it may be a good thing but they extort the Italian people so there scum of the earth and that house is in foreclosure suck big shots the Gotti family and your house is in foreclosure!!!!!!! I guess there not as big as the media makes them sound!!!!!
I'm Italian 🇮🇹 and what amazes me as time went on from when our Italian ancestors grew from coming into Ellis Island and even up to today, the women gained more and more power than they ever had back in the 20's, 30's, 40's etc. I'm very proud of my heritage and my Aunts and Uncles that have since passed on. I feel the Italians, Polish, and Irish heritages had to luckiest of all heritages. No they by my no means were innocent, but family and friends meant everything
This property is a perfect example of having heaven on earth. No matter how extravagant people live. How much money and fame you have on this earth, we take nothing with us to the after life.... except for our actions and deeds we have did while we were alive. We come into to life with nothing and we leave with nothing but what kind of a person we were when we were alive.
_This was clearly not passed down to Mr. John Gotti's daughter. Victoria and her husband Carmine, personally purchased this house to raise their three boys in. 'Oh, the house is abandoned...turns on closet light'. Your production value seems pretty decent though, just wished you would have done a little back story research about 'Growing Up Gotti' on A&E. And no the house isn't newly abandoned with all the power still on(it was sold March 2020, for $750,000). Please at least try and do your research a little more in-depth before trying to cash in on the name 'Gotti'._
@@Godisgreat-b4e _I noted the production value was decent. (If you have 200k subs, it might be best to research vlog material just a bit better). I don't know it all(yet, lol). I never said the tour wasn't good(seeing the house in disrepair from 2006 is kind of sad). What I stated was truthful, researched, and spot on. Relax, I'm subscribed!_
Nawww it's not surprising. The cost of keeping up a mansion is too much money and just not worth it... most mansions have to spend $20k to $50k a month or more to keep it up with bills, electricity, cleaning, house service, utlities,water, butlers and property taxes... it really just is not worth the cost and maintenance unless you are some heiress billionaire. Even a millionaire will eventually go broke having to keep up a mansion because keep in mind, the majority of millionaires in America are just regular millionaires having a networth of $2 to $10 million. They're not multimillionaires nor mega millionaires having a net worth of $200 million or more
I wish someone had a video posted of Victoria giving a tour of the home, explaining all the details, before it was raided and abandoned. That would've been really cool to see the before and after side by side.
6 Birch Hill Crt, Old Westbury is the address. It's in a posh area of Long Island. Beautiful property for sure but, man, the highway noise is so annoying!
Homes like that are never abandoned. They are going through a transition. Either a legal situation or something involving a pending sale or similar. It's definitely not abandoned.
Ya i have to agree with you and what i know, it’s definitely not abandoned! I bet that house is bought and paid for and it’s kept in the family for someone with his last name. He was old school mafioso 💰💯
Dont diss Vicky. She was the daughter, not the mobster. This home was hers, not her dads. He lived in Howard beach, queens. In a 4 bedroom regular split level home. She grew up there, not here. Carmine built this. John never lived here. Maybe Carmine was an old car collector. Dont trash people that have no ties to organized crime other than being related by blood. Ive heard John was a good father to all his kids.
You can tell the whole place is been painted because the trim is missing in a lot of places and a lot of the receptacle covers are gone and have tape over them just got painted a lot of it
It's a little different than it's original layout. There used to be a sub zero fridge on one side and a sub zero freezer on the other. I remember the island being much longer.
yea it makes me wonder how "abandoned" it really is. Not in the sense that the video is fake, but how often Gotti's daughter comes back since she owns it. Or if she has a property management company or groundskeeper around. I'd be sketched out to be in there.
IMO the reason the staircases look funny, especially from the second floor, is because the back wall from the 2nd floor front bedroom extends too close to it. The wall should be much further back away from the staircases, perhaps making that front room a closet or even a bathroom.
I know you called the apartment above the stables an in law apartment, but I would guess it was meant more for a live-in stable hand. What a fabulous walk thru though. The hidden room and clothes in it was especially spine chilling.
I was always surprised that Victoria held onto the house for as long as she did. Having battled foreclosure for years. Her house was in need of many repairs both shown on her show and from what few people have said that have been in the house. After all these years finally she lost the house. Wow!
Is this what happened?? I’d just left a comment inquiring as to what happened to the house, it Victoria still had it, if one of the boys did, if they were putting it on the market to sell, or the bank had taken it and it had gone abandoned! I’m guessing the bank finally got it, sat for awhile, they couldn’t sell it for some odd reason? Just the history and namesake should have been a good selling point - but I suppose not during a pandemic, inflation going into super inflation, how different things are still right now & how a lot of ppl are struggling! It’s kind of sad bc I see there’s still a bunch of personal items in the home and it’s sad thinking of them being tossed in the trash, Stolen, vandalized or whatever and then being lost to all time, when it’s from a historically important family w everything they were involved in and everything that happened!! We really need to do a better job of taking better care of things and not letting things just get forgotten or thrown in the trash, esp if it has some kind of historical importance, cultural importance or other kind of importance/significance!! *le sigh*
The house was sold March of 2020 for a paltry, $750,000. Although Victoria Gotti did pay the back taxes of 2.6 million, she no longer owns the house(henceforth she's not in the picture). At this moment the house is in a renovation status, and is not on the market. For those curious, the house is in Old Westbury, NY. (It's worth a little over 2 million, but the area alone, and just the property is worth that much). Oh, and no this house never belonged to John Gotti Sr., or John A. Gotti Jr. It was deeded to Victoria Gotti (after she filed for divorce from her husband Carmine Agnello).
@@gabbarsingh7182 This house wasn't bought with crime money, it was bought the right way, with her money she made from the show, about her and her raising her teenage boys!! She lost it because of back taxes, nothing to shady there!! Everyone knows John Gotti never laid eyes on this house as he past away in prison yrs before!!
In the south, we call that staircase "open arms" staircase. In days of old, females went up & down one side while males used the other side. In that way there was no chance of a man peering up a lady's skirts or seeing her ankles.
I too thought that was Victoria Gotti’s house. I used to watch the show and just loved her. I was amazed at how youthful and what a beautiful woman she was. I can imagine all the meals, children growing up, tears, and laughter in this house. I’m surprised this house hasn’t sold its a beautiful place. I can still see her going on the hunt of her kids in that house and yelling upstairs. That was comical I hope she finds a buyer.
@@bebetterdobetter7836 Thank you wasn’t sure really doesn’t matter if its hers or was her father’s. I read a comment her boys got in trouble I hated to hear that I know as protective as she was of her boys that probably broke her heart. She’s a strong lady because she’s sure been through her share of heartbreak. I hope she’s doing well and wish good blessings for her, her boys, and family.
imagine one day you see a video of him exploring you’re home while you’re at work and see the video on youtube later “abandon house with all utilities and everything in tact”
And what "important" life lessons are those? There are abandoned house everywhere along with scaled up houses of this kind called mansions. So what? Life sometimes throws you a curve ball and bankruptcy happens... or the owner dies, or maybe economic times takes a nose dive. There are several reasons these houses get abandoned, not jut because a corrupt and selfish lifestyle catches up to someone. Life teaches us to VALUE our time and efforts, not waste them. There is no life-lesson learned from someone else's lavish homes and lifestyles. Mansions are not a symptom of greed, obsession and corruption, though some are a product of that. Many of these mansions are symbols of success, risk and hard work. A badge of merit and a reward... and the fulfillment of a dream. That is by definition... happiness. And yes... you can't take wealth and material property with when God pulls your number. But YOU CAN leave a legacy of good and bad. Be it mansions on Miami Beach or a studio apartment in hick-town USA... it's what you leave behind (your legacy) that matters. That's the life lesson to learn. What others decide to do with their wealth and influence is none of your business! Don't lecture others with what YOU would like them to do. Especially when you have not been where they have been; have not made sacrifices and risks they have made; and not once changed YOUR life in pursuit of your dreams. Only a small number of of abandoned mansions were ill-gotten deserts & spoils. Instead... Live an honest life. Live it to its fullest; take risks; dream and reach for possibilities; be purposeful and achieve happiness. And by all means... LIVE the way you want to and not the way others would want you to live. NEVER be ashamed or feel guilty of an honest well deserved life that brought you the riches and happiness you worked so hard for all your life. And maybe when life's-end is near you would arrange your affairs to pass on your mansion and wealth to a charity; or a church; or gift it to a deserving family member(s) that you trust will carry on your legacy and spread good will and charity of their choosing. Abandoned mansions teach us nothing about life... they only remind us of the life that others had and has nothing to do with our lives and the life we will make for ourselves by the decisions we make.
I maybe solved the staircase mystery. Gotti had enough money for a grand staircase, but the design of a grand and open entrance makes it possible for long shooting angles. The tight design is way better because anyone in the second story will see the attackers legs long before the attackers see them, because of the roof is blocking their view. You need to crawl in that door to notice the people holding second story angle.
I would add how steep the stairs are, if you did make to the steps it much harder too run or maneuver up short steep steps. The front had an awesome defensive design. Now what I would like to know is what can't we see, their are hidden rooms all over the property.
Brings back memories for me too me and my mom used to watch it every time it came on and we loved Victoria and watching the sons and everything grow up and it was just really neat my mom's passed on now and of course the shows ended good memories
Beautiful house and property. My first car was a 1961 Chevy Belair like the one you found. It was the same color, with a pale blue top. I know it's outdated, but it was a great car, much better than anything I can find today. I drove it for years, on long trips and all over. Thanks for the memories!
I was wondering why all the old clothes and Gucci stuff in the hidden room hadn't been stolen. Then I remembered whose house we are talking about. I wouldn't even want to step foot in there.
Watched growing up gotti, it is cool to see the whole house and grounds. As you were going through it, I was trying to remember the scenes in the show.
Came to sort of say the same...thought for sure they'd throw up some clips from when this was on A&E's Growing up Gotti. But clearly they never heard of it
To answer a few questions … it’s not abandoned , I’m currently working with the family to restore and move in . That’s why I had power turned back on. A few issues with the bank but I should have it worked out by January. I’ll be taking video and showing the entire process over the next year !!
Thank you!!!! I knew the owners that had it approx 9-10 years ago who bought it after it was empty awhile. They started rehabbing it. Glad to see the waterfall gone :) Is the stained glass G still there! I’d love to have that!
I'm currently moving into this house as well. I will also be making a video of the restoration process. My issues with the bank will be worked out in January too. That's why I just had the power turned back on.
Prove it, i think u just want subs!!! What family? Victoria? a new fam? Should these explorers be in here like this? I say massive trespassing and why is he saying newly abanded, clearly you can tell its been abanded for awhile, look at the landscape
I've noticed the layout of the house seems built with tactical awareness in mind. You have good visibility to anyone coming in, and inside you have sharp corners and plenty of places to hide for cover, assassination, ambush, etc. I get this sense of over-the-top bluster bordering on tacky of people living a life under the curse of blood money that no one should ever touch. One reaps what they sow.
His son’s house he built/renovated in the 90’s in Massapequa was similar. Had a stone wall around the whole property as well as roll down metal gates for the windows. Also surveillance cameras all over which in the 90’s wasn’t as common as today as we all know.
I personally am glad they were brave enough to do this video. I love it! And the fact that it was the Enforcer’s home really makes it even more intriguing. Awesome tour!!
@@KavvaBic underling /ˈʌndəlɪŋ/ noun DEROGATORY a person lower in status or rank. Expand your vocabulary, i bet you didnt know the meaning of the word, right?
@@lennygrzywa923 Technically is. The $2.65 million Old Westbury home was once owned by Victoria's mob-boss father John Gotti and has been abandoned since the FBI raided the mansion in 2016 as apart of a tax fraud investigation involving the mob-daughter and her sons, according to Page Six.
That painting in the garage was portrait of one of Victoria Gotti's sons. This was her house and her short lived reality show was filmed in that house.
I wired that house for his daughter and husband, Carmine. It was never John's house and he never stepped foot in it. It was built just as he was going to jail. It's in Westbury LI.
Thanks for clarifying! A lot of people on here are misunderstanding, thinking John owned the home so a lot of mob activity happened there, etc. lol not the case
Most of these “out of place” things are because someone has come back and added things, moved things, increased living space for profit, or sometimes even build out Bed & Breakfast (when the property belonged to someone famous/influential) the butterfly stairs are showcased so they have been shortened and whatever that was on top that blocked the view was added at a later date. NO ONE spends that type of money building a house around a grand entrance just to cover it up. It is something that isn’t common anymore but was absolutely a statement of wealth 25 years ago or longer. Also, one of the biggest impacts over looked was the housing market collapse in ‘08. The market was booming and then the bottom fell out leaving people with no option other than go into foreclosure or abandon the build and go back to their native countries. All of the transactions should be easily accessible. Good find and great footage!
@@billmiller7138 It's pretty simple but not builder quality. The first floor is poured concrete with steel I beams. It build like a brick shithouse....no pun intended.
@@electvolt67 I get that but the finishes, Cabinets, trim, baths, I've been involved in high end remodels the past few years, nothing there comes close.
John Gotti never lived here, didn’t have anything to do with the house, was built by Victoria and her husband, then he went prison and she remained till I believe 2015. She had gotten the house in the divorce settlement.
Didn’t Victoria Gotti live there just a few years ago? I remember this from their TV show when I was a kid. Damn, she needs to call Luigi for some repairs! If you watched the show back in the day you’ll get that 😂
She couldn't get him to do nothing then. I can still picture him wearing his snorkeling gear with his bikini undies on when it came time to clean the pool.😂
It’s so funny to hear your comments on how weird the house is. I live in the town right next door to Old Westbury and this house was on and off the market for YEARS and no one ever wanted it. It was always a dump, right on the highway and the design was just a mess. The street it’s on, Birch Hill Court, is gorgeous and every house is so well kept and then this eyesore kills the vibe. 😂😂
I thought the design was wacky too! Seems like someone tried TOO HARD to be unique. The building materials were el cheapo too! -hardware, chandeliers, thin, thin stairs like plain pine plank, cinder block walls for garage...
In actuality, it isn't even the home John lived in, but instead the one used in the show. Very cool explore, but definitely worth noting that it is obvious that the majority of the stuff in the home and property are of after Gotti's era. He was convicted in 1992, died in 2002, but there are more modern appliances, dvds, and various other stuff. So, there is likely some stuff maybe brought in from him and some from whatever family members lived in the home after. This was Victoria's home. The FBI raided it due to some kind of tax scam at one point, I believe. I don't think John Gotti was ever there, and if so, not for long. Still, a very cool explore. Also, just to point out, the statement about it being left to Victoria after his death. That is very incorrect. John had all assets seized under Rico. Any property couldn't have been left to his slaughter, as it all was seized by the government.
Whether Carmine or John Gotti owned the house they were both in the same biz so watching your back was imperative. Cameras can’t pick up everything. With the resources they had and access to the best architects available you’d have to know the design of the house was well thought out and intentional. I think that all of the broken pathways, strangely placed alcoves, no clear view to the upstairs from the bottom of the butterfly staircase, etc. may be to allow nooks and crannies to hide or to allow inconspicuous placement to fire at an intruder. Also having mirrors and windows everywhere are likely to have visibility to see approaching intruders or threats. Also maybe the staggered height level of the guest house in relation to the main house may also be for constant visibility as well.
You have a wonderful imagination I like it but if you go look back somehow maybe on UA-cam on the TV show growing up Gotti you would see the original floor plan. This house has been redone and whoever owned it after her has made a lot of changes to it and I doubt he was a gangster lol
Hahahah EXACTLY! And the you tubers keep responding to everyone saying NOT JOHN GOTTIS HOUSE by responding “oh it was bought with John GOTTI money so same thing”……. Nooooo John Gotti was in Jail when Victoria and Carmine bought the place to raise the boys. John Gotti never even stepped foot in that house. The money used to buy it was Carmines income, not Johns as he hadn’t passed away yet. So stupid.
I love all these youtubers making videos of them going to abandoned building and showing them breaking and entering and trespassing. It warms my heart how smart some people can be
Crazy to see that this thing is abandoned.. if John Gotti was my father and left this mansion, there's no way I could abandon it. If I didn't want to live in it, it'd be maintained, rented out, and/or even turned into something like a museum, bed/breakfast, something. I'd probably live in it though if that was an area I wanted to live in. Otherwise, probably rent it out and maintain it.
Yeah John Gotti had nothing to do with this house. It was awarded to her by the court after she filed for divorce. Why he kept saying John Gotti is beyond me. Maybe for clicks.
She ended up broke and losing the property to foreclosure I believe so there was no money to maintain. I heard they couldn't get it to sale...I'm guessing they were asking too much and it needed a lot of updates and repairs.
@@fraji1Definitely for the clicks. Kept saying John Gotti’s house & all the history, etc. On their show, Victoria said he never even saw it! Only the plans & photos she took to show him while he was in prison!
If it was truly abandoned I'm pretty sure everything would of been stolen by now. I've never seen a abandoned place in so somewhat clean and pretty much full with household items.
The only thing “ Gotti “ about this house is the that it was Victoria Gotti-Agnello’s house . Where they filmed “ Growing up Gotti “ ... it was everyone’s understanding that John never even lived there .. and one of those paintings you found in the garage was of one of Victoria’s sons 😂 it’s hard to tell which son it was since they all had that then very popular hair cut “ the crown “ !!! like Pauly D from Jersey Shore !!
@@Jeffrey_Tyler for a fast getaway....or noise to interfere with audio surveillance......both I assume as it seems a strange location choice given the noise and probable air quality issue......absolutely nothing like Paul Castellano's mansion.
This is not John Gotti's house. His daughter Victoria lived here with her kids and the house can be seen on "Growing Up Gotti". John Gotti was famously known for living in the same house on 85th street in Howard Beach. That house was on top of all the other nieghbors. John would NEVER buy a house like this to attract attention. You should change the title and let John RIP. You can just simply say GOTTI HOUSE...
That hand painted picture in the garage of the main house was of Carmine from back when the filmed "Growing Up Gotti" there.I saw a couple episodes of it and thought the place was familiar so I just looked it up.It's sad to see it's falling apart.Maybe they'll 'get an offer they can't refuse' for it.
Exactly! I recognized it from that show as well. Wonder if it was taken by the feds? Although, I don't think they'd let it fall into disrepair (they'd sell it to get some of the money back). Very curious....also, in regards to that staircase and the awkward placement of it, I never noticed that when watching the show, which makes me think that even back then (early 2000's?), the producers knew what a architectural faux pas it was!
Victoria had a hard time maintaining that property. There were cracks in the pillars, the pool was never cleaned and usable in her show. She was always going on about lights being on and doors being left open by her sons. And the pond area wasn't looking too good.
wow you guys are got balls to go break in there. That neighborhood has their own police and usually are all over the place. If the real estate company didn't let you in you definitely would have been arrested . very risky
Neighbors still respect the home. At the very least they were asked by the neighbors the purpose of their visit & given a free pass.....no harm, no foul.
Everyone we get it! It is not John's house, Okay next. Great video as always. Such a shame the house is like this. I hope it gets saved, I would love to buy it if had the money.
Such a gorgeous property, and sad to see it has been left to rot since being raided in 2016. Was apparently sold in 2020 for a hell of a discounted price, but is clearly going to need a lot of work and money spent on it to make it look proud once more.
@@marcuspolo9106 .... Maybe due to COVID related difficulties they haven't had the time, money, or even been able to get anyone out to renovate the property just yet, hence why it still sits in its current state. But if truth be told, I don't know. 🤷🏻
The guy In the picture in the garage is Victoria’s son Carmine. That house is amazing. I can still remember episodes of Growing Up Gotti and the fights over the hair gel with the boys lol.
They Needed more background info , I’m thinking maybe they aren’t from the area as well maybe? 🤷♀️ and had bad info given to them ... but beautiful footage!
That music is so sad and evocative. It was used in one of the videos about the Chris Watts family murders, and really had a big effect on me after that.
Shanann Watts pretty much made her own Lifetime movie since her first husband Larry King said how you couldn't get her off the phone. She documented everything till she and the kids were killed. That's why people are so fascinated with her and her family since was an open person. The new family that moved in, The Millers, the wife's hubby assaulted her, and the house is being up for sale again.
My suggestion is turning the house into a museum. There is a lot of tourists that would love to do a tour of that house if it was set up properly. A lot of history involving that house no doubt. Also did you notice that the fridge and other nice items were still there? Leads me to believe people are a little bit nervous to go into that house and steal LOL
and this chair is where Fat Tony sat when Gotti gave him a trim and a Sicilian straight blade shave. lol oh and that room is where fat Tony became the first ever quad amputee after the fact 💀☠😱🤣
A museum? For what ? John Sr was away when the house was being built. I guess a bunch of dopey fanboys would go to take their pictures and say they were at Victorias house . The kid doing the video should tell the truth. It never was John’s house he passed down to Victoria. And truth be told the Gottis have no standing in the current mob . Junior was smart enough to run away and after doing almost 40 years in jail And being on fed parole Gene is smart enough not to make any street moves
The taxes are insane in that town, you better be a big time Wall Street exec to afford to live in that area. Taxes keep skyrocketing every year and it eventually forces you to leave. Middle class neighborhoods are also being affected for that same reason, a lot of people moved out of the state. There are many abandoned mansions on the island
@@sandysizemore501 I think the person/group who bought it from Victoria would like to sell it at a profit. This video is to try to help get the word out. The new owner certainly isn't willing to put the money/risk in it. It's right next to a highway.
It’s in Old Westbury, Long Island. A very wealthy area. Very low chance of much vandalism happening there. Other neighborhoods more likely ;). He definitely had permission to go in there as well.
If you want to know more about the house just watch growin up gotti. It’s interesting to see most of the furniture is still there from the original tv show.
Fascinating. I so would have gone through every book looking for a hidden treasure and for sure would have checked the cars trunks lol , very cool thanks
I always find it interesting how quickly so many ppl are jumping onto a mistake & being nasty in many incidents!!! So it was the daughter's but she did say it was a dream house of his. It is still a part of the family. Can't ppl be more polite
ONE OF THE COOLEST EXPLORES FOR SURE!

@@mtl111mtl You do know this is not John Gottis house? His daughter and her husband whom worked for John bought it. Victoria Gotti had to foreclose on the house because she couldn't keep up with the up keep.
Amazing how the wood floors and cabinets still shine. Pure quality
Both of you are now on the hit list.
Lol yeah I was thinking the same
Not John Gotti’s house, it’s the house from Growing Up Gotti. His daughter and sons lived there in Westbury
yes thats true its rumored the house was bought with her father johns money
Victoria Gotti
@@kylemcgran incorrect. Her ex husbands money. MOB money, but not Johns
@@garypupshis2190 plenty of fam still above ground
@@gjstein5418 It was never Johns. It was his daughters that she purchased with her ex husband Carmine. You watch way too many movies because it's not like that anymore. I do believe the home went into foreclosure and the bank owns it. I know she had been trying to sell it for years and in 2016 it was raided, along with her sons auto shop.
As soon as I saw the front of the house,I knew it was Victoria Gotti’s.Loved her reality show “Growing Up Gotti”(A&E 2004)I recall her yelling up that staircase at her teen boys.Even the couches r situated the same!Very nostalgic for those of us who watched the show
Yes I notice the couches still seating the same lol 😎❤️
YOUR YOUNGEST SON TOOK MY GEL!!
That home sits on 5 acres in Westbury, Long Island that property was stolen by John Gotti Sr and his thugs no mercy for those Italians that live that mob life cause they extort their own people so that means their trash but if they extorted all these other groups then it may be a good thing but they extort the Italian people so there scum of the earth and that house is in foreclosure suck big shots the Gotti family and your house is in foreclosure!!!!!!! I guess there not as big as the media makes them sound!!!!!
Why did she move out the house? I used to watch that show.. her boys were a trip
She doesn't still live in that house?? Sure does look weathered but good bones to be a good house
It’s crazy how this place isn’t completely locked down and gated off.
It's out of the way.
probably owned by a bank, not a person. they've got it insured for 5x its value they dont care what happens to it.
I'm Italian 🇮🇹 and what amazes me as time went on from when our Italian ancestors grew from coming into Ellis Island and even up to today, the women gained more and more power than they ever had back in the 20's, 30's, 40's etc. I'm very proud of my heritage and my Aunts and Uncles that have since passed on. I feel the Italians, Polish, and Irish heritages had to luckiest of all heritages. No they by my no means were innocent, but family and friends meant everything
It’s sad to see such a beautiful property go to waste like that.
Yes it is very sad. People could be housed there. Its very sad.
Amen! 🙏🏻

This property is a perfect example of having heaven on earth. No matter how extravagant people live.

We come into to life with nothing and we leave with nothing but what kind of a person we were when we were alive.

Great point
This was a great message!!!!
This was not Gotti house ..it belonged to his son in law Victoria his daughter husband
Absolutely right , God didn't brought us to this world for no reason, also he know that will be deniers, and dummies also non believers.
Really enjoyed your video. You scanned everything so beautifully. I've always wanted to see this place. Thank-you!!
it was Jr's Silly!
_This was clearly not passed down to Mr. John Gotti's daughter. Victoria and her husband Carmine, personally purchased this house to raise their three boys in. 'Oh, the house is abandoned...turns on closet light'. Your production value seems pretty decent though, just wished you would have done a little back story research about 'Growing Up Gotti' on A&E. And no the house isn't newly abandoned with all the power still on(it was sold March 2020, for $750,000). Please at least try and do your research a little more in-depth before trying to cash in on the name 'Gotti'._
Exactly! Someone else already did a video like this, with all the lies!!
I completely agree
Maybe a bit too intrusive on the new owner if it's that soon! certainly gave me another feeling about this.
Shit he ain’t know what’s the big deal he gave a good tour so hush up thinking you know it all fool lol

Always amazes me how many abandoned mansions are out there just rotting away.
Nawww it's not surprising. The cost of keeping up a mansion is too much money and just not worth it... most mansions have to spend $20k to $50k a month or more to keep it up with bills, electricity, cleaning, house service, utlities,water, butlers and property taxes... it really just is not worth the cost and maintenance unless you are some heiress billionaire. Even a millionaire will eventually go broke having to keep up a mansion because keep in mind, the majority of millionaires in America are just regular millionaires having a networth of $2 to $10 million. They're not multimillionaires nor mega millionaires having a net worth of $200 million or more
@@tropicalbeach9225 Who you calling regular?
5 millions houses Mr Google can always help
Yea aye I'd be stripping that shit out waste of a home
Same as the castles in Europe. Upkeep is too costly, so people walk away.
I wish someone had a video posted of Victoria giving a tour of the home, explaining all the details, before it was raided and abandoned. That would've been really cool to see the before and after side by side.
There is it’s called growing up gotti
It was a show in this house. This place had nothing to do with JG.
It’s not to abandoned it definitely looks like it’s being worked on
I also watch victorias interviews ...omg!! He had brother died for car accident
I saw the show people got furs
6 Birch Hill Crt, Old Westbury is the address. It's in a posh area of Long Island. Beautiful property for sure but, man, the highway noise is so annoying!
This was Victoria Gotti’s house. It was featured on the show “Growing Up Gotti” her and her kids lived there and grew up there.
Homes like that are never abandoned. They are going through a transition. Either a legal situation or something involving a pending sale or similar. It's definitely not abandoned.
Complete with power to! They were granted permission to be there dude! I mean just think about it?
Ya i have to agree with you and what i know, it’s definitely not abandoned! I bet that house is bought and paid for and it’s kept in the family for someone with his last name. He was old school mafioso 💰💯
Actually their abandoned it can not be called home 🏠 because it was made with injustice and evil so the bases is wrong no harmony no peace 🙏✌️☪️
@@montrecejames7907 so the white's house is abandoned? Yes I'm aware of thee apostrophe S!!!
True, especially of its a notorious gangster's old mansion. The CIA wouldn't leave his things in there before letting you in 🤣🤣🤣
I love the way you guys film. As you go through each property quickly, you then, in slo mo, re-show each room in detail. I love that touch. Great job.
Dont diss Vicky. She was the daughter, not the mobster. This home was hers, not her dads. He lived in Howard beach, queens. In a 4 bedroom regular split level home. She grew up there, not here. Carmine built this. John never lived here. Maybe Carmine was an old car collector. Dont trash people that have no ties to organized crime other than being related by blood. Ive heard John was a good father to all his kids.
you can tell the house had been worked on recently because that fridge/freezer combo and stove is pretty modern
Exactly
I was thinking the same lol
Yeah he said newly abandoned at the start
You can tell the whole place is been painted because the trim is missing in a lot of places and a lot of the receptacle covers are gone and have tape over them just got painted a lot of it
It's a little different than it's original layout. There used to be a sub zero fridge on one side and a sub zero freezer on the other. I remember the island being much longer.
Surprising to me their are so many valuables in that home. Construction tools, electronic equipment, books art. Wow.
yea it makes me wonder how "abandoned" it really is. Not in the sense that the video is fake, but how often Gotti's daughter comes back since she owns it. Or if she has a property management company or groundskeeper around. I'd be sketched out to be in there.
Not abandoned fake
Let’s slide
That is not his house John never even stepped into that home His daughter Victoria lived there after her dad was already in prison
Thank you, people in other videos keep saying he did, and it's not true.
Correct and it was the house that Victoria and the kids lived in when there show was on tv
IMO the reason the staircases look funny, especially from the second floor, is because the back wall from the 2nd floor front bedroom extends too close to it. The wall should be much further back away from the staircases, perhaps making that front room a closet or even a bathroom.
I know you called the apartment above the stables an in law apartment, but I would guess it was meant more for a live-in stable hand. What a fabulous walk thru though. The hidden room and clothes in it was especially spine chilling.

John Gotti never stepped foot in that house
I watched the TV program in its origin, I never in my wildest dreams thought the residents of that house were literate !
I was always surprised that Victoria held onto the house for as long as she did. Having battled foreclosure for years. Her house was in need of many repairs both shown on her show and from what few people have said that have been in the house. After all these years finally she lost the house. Wow!
Is this what happened?? I’d just left a comment inquiring as to what happened to the house, it Victoria still had it, if one of the boys did, if they were putting it on the market to sell, or the bank had taken it and it had gone abandoned!
I’m guessing the bank finally got it, sat for awhile, they couldn’t sell it for some odd reason? Just the history and namesake should have been a good selling point - but I suppose not during a pandemic, inflation going into super inflation, how different things are still right now & how a lot of ppl are struggling!
It’s kind of sad bc I see there’s still a bunch of personal items in the home and it’s sad thinking of them being tossed in the trash, Stolen, vandalized or whatever and then being lost to all time, when it’s from a historically important family w everything they were involved in and everything that happened!! We really need to do a better job of taking better care of things and not letting things just get forgotten or thrown in the trash, esp if it has some kind of historical importance, cultural importance or other kind of importance/significance!!
*le sigh*
Just goes to show crime doesn't pay, the house is cursed forever.
@Master General sounds like a bot acts like a bot yep it’s a bot
The house was sold March of 2020 for a paltry, $750,000. Although Victoria Gotti did pay the back taxes of 2.6 million, she no longer owns the house(henceforth she's not in the picture). At this moment the house is in a renovation status, and is not on the market. For those curious, the house is in Old Westbury, NY. (It's worth a little over 2 million, but the area alone, and just the property is worth that much). Oh, and no this house never belonged to John Gotti Sr., or John A. Gotti Jr. It was deeded to Victoria Gotti (after she filed for divorce from her husband Carmine Agnello).
@@gabbarsingh7182 This house wasn't bought with crime money, it was bought the right way, with her money she made from the show, about her and her raising her teenage boys!! She lost it because of back taxes, nothing to shady there!! Everyone knows John Gotti never laid eyes on this house as he past away in prison yrs before!!
Welcome back nice to see u
In the south, we call that staircase "open arms" staircase. In days of old, females went up & down one side while males used the other side. In that way there was no chance of a man peering up a lady's skirts or seeing her ankles.

how cool
Thanks for sharing that 😁 I love learning new things.. lol..
Just learned something interesting
While niggaz went through the back door... 😂😎.... I'm black by the way
I too thought that was Victoria Gotti’s house. I used to watch the show and just loved her. I was amazed at how youthful and what a beautiful woman she was. I can imagine all the meals, children growing up, tears, and laughter in this house. I’m surprised this house hasn’t sold its a beautiful place. I can still see her going on the hunt of her kids in that house and yelling upstairs. That was comical I hope she finds a buyer.

You were right. It IS (now was) Victoria’s home. Never was her father’s in any way, shape or form.
@@bebetterdobetter7836 Thank you wasn’t sure really doesn’t matter if its hers or was her father’s.

Abandoned mansions do teach us important life lesson(s) 🙏🏽💥🙏🏽
So true
How many secrets are hidden inside in each part of the house.
And what "important" life lessons are those? There are abandoned house everywhere along with scaled up houses of this kind called mansions. So what? Life sometimes throws you a curve ball and bankruptcy happens... or the owner dies, or maybe economic times takes a nose dive. There are several reasons these houses get abandoned, not jut because a corrupt and selfish lifestyle catches up to someone.
Life teaches us to VALUE our time and efforts, not waste them. There is no life-lesson learned from someone else's lavish homes and lifestyles. Mansions are not a symptom of greed, obsession and corruption, though some are a product of that. Many of these mansions are symbols of success, risk and hard work. A badge of merit and a reward... and the fulfillment of a dream. That is by definition... happiness.
And yes... you can't take wealth and material property with when God pulls your number. But YOU CAN leave a legacy of good and bad. Be it mansions on Miami Beach or a studio apartment in hick-town USA... it's what you leave behind (your legacy) that matters. That's the life lesson to learn.
What others decide to do with their wealth and influence is none of your business! Don't lecture others with what YOU would like them to do. Especially when you have not been where they have been; have not made sacrifices and risks they have made; and not once changed YOUR life in pursuit of your dreams. Only a small number of of abandoned mansions were ill-gotten deserts & spoils.
Instead... Live an honest life. Live it to its fullest; take risks; dream and reach for possibilities; be purposeful and achieve happiness. And by all means... LIVE the way you want to and not the way others would want you to live. NEVER be ashamed or feel guilty of an honest well deserved life that brought you the riches and happiness you worked so hard for all your life.
And maybe when life's-end is near you would arrange your affairs to pass on your mansion and wealth to a charity; or a church; or gift it to a deserving family member(s) that you trust will carry on your legacy and spread good will and charity of their choosing.
Abandoned mansions teach us nothing about life... they only remind us of the life that others had and has nothing to do with our lives and the life we will make for ourselves by the decisions we make.
I maybe solved the staircase mystery. Gotti had enough money for a grand staircase, but the design of a grand and open entrance makes it possible for long shooting angles. The tight design is way better because anyone in the second story will see the attackers legs long before the attackers see them, because of the roof is blocking their view. You need to crawl in that door to notice the people holding second story angle.
Holy crap it's Skorlack Helms
Yo thats insane, good thinking.
I would add how steep the stairs are, if you did make to the steps it much harder too run or maneuver up short steep steps. The front had an awesome defensive design. Now what I would like to know is what can't we see, their are hidden rooms all over the property.
that's not probably thats exactly the reason why designd that way not for the beauty but defencive reasons
I was thinking the same
I always wonder what it feels like to be the person watching OTHER people in your home.
This house bought back so many memories. Especially the kitchen, seems like they filed there often. I miss that show now lol Thanks for filming.
Brings back memories for me too me and my mom used to watch it every time it came on and we loved Victoria and watching the sons and everything grow up and it was just really neat my mom's passed on now and of course the shows ended good memories
A&E made up that show. John Gotti never stepped foot in that house. It was purchased after he was in prison
Beautiful house and property. My first car was a 1961 Chevy Belair like the one you found. It was the same color, with a pale blue top. I know it's outdated, but it was a great car, much better than anything I can find today. I drove it for years, on long trips and all over. Thanks for the memories!
I was wondering why all the old clothes and Gucci stuff in the hidden room hadn't been stolen. Then I remembered whose house we are talking about. I wouldn't even want to step foot in there.
Watched growing up gotti, it is cool to see the whole house and grounds. As you were going through it, I was trying to remember the scenes in the show.
Came to sort of say the same...thought for sure they'd throw up some clips from when this was on A&E's Growing up Gotti. But clearly they never heard of it
Bottom line is no matter who lived in this home, it was an awesome find! Great job capturing it all for us. Thx Kyle.

To answer a few questions … it’s not abandoned , I’m currently working with the family to restore and move in . That’s why I had power turned back on. A few issues with the bank but I should have it worked out by January. I’ll be taking video and showing the entire process over the next year !!
So did u let these guys film or did they break in?
Thank you!!!! I knew the owners that had it approx 9-10 years ago who bought it after it was empty awhile. They started rehabbing it. Glad to see the waterfall gone :) Is the stained glass G still there! I’d love to have that!
Yeah right lol
I'm currently moving into this house as well. I will also be making a video of the restoration process. My issues with the bank will be worked out in January too. That's why I just had the power turned back on.
Prove it, i think u just want subs!!! What family? Victoria? a new fam? Should these explorers be in here like this?
I say massive trespassing and why is he saying newly abanded, clearly you can tell its been abanded for awhile, look at the landscape
The gardens are so noisy from traffic!

❤️I remember watching this show “Growing Up Gotti”. I loved that show!!❤️Thank you for posting an update on this beautiful mansion 💕💕🙏🙏
I've noticed the layout of the house seems built with tactical awareness in mind. You have good visibility to anyone coming in, and inside you have sharp corners and plenty of places to hide for cover, assassination, ambush, etc. I get this sense of over-the-top bluster bordering on tacky of people living a life under the curse of blood money that no one should ever touch. One reaps what they sow.
Truly amazing confirmation bias
His son’s house he built/renovated in the 90’s in Massapequa was similar. Had a stone wall around the whole property as well as roll down metal gates for the windows. Also surveillance cameras all over which in the 90’s wasn’t as common as today as we all know.
Damn that’s deep but on point well said!

The $2.65 million Old Westbury home was once owned by Victoria's mob-boss father John Gotti and has been abandoned since the FBI raided the mansion in 2016 as apart of a tax fraud investigation involving the mob-daughter and her sons, according to Page Six.
What a love to before and after when the reality show was filmed and now how it is now. Great video though thanks for the details👍
That painting in the garage was portrait of one of Victoria Gotti's sons. This was her house and her short lived reality show was filmed in that house.
Thank you!! I was going to post that
I wired that house for his daughter and husband, Carmine. It was never John's house and he never stepped foot in it. It was built just as he was going to jail. It's in Westbury LI.
Thanks for clarifying! A lot of people on here are misunderstanding, thinking John owned the home so a lot of mob activity happened there, etc. lol not the case
I curious why the house was abandoned and not sold. Who owns it?
I thought it was Victoria's house.
Most of these “out of place” things are because someone has come back and added things, moved things, increased living space for profit, or sometimes even build out Bed & Breakfast (when the property belonged to someone famous/influential) the butterfly stairs are showcased so they have been shortened and whatever that was on top that blocked the view was added at a later date. NO ONE spends that type of money building a house around a grand entrance just to cover it up. It is something that isn’t common anymore but was absolutely a statement of wealth 25 years ago or longer. Also, one of the biggest impacts over looked was the housing market collapse in ‘08. The market was booming and then the bottom fell out leaving people with no option other than go into foreclosure or abandon the build and go back to their native countries. All of the transactions should be easily accessible. Good find and great footage!
I wired the house and grounds. There was no room above the entry when it was built. It was added at the last minute and destroyed the whole entryway.
@@electvolt67 The whole place appears to be builder grade tract house quality. Outside is a bit impressive but everything on the inside is crap.
Turned into a bed and breakfast would be an awesome place for those that love anything to do with the gangster days.
@@billmiller7138 It's pretty simple but not builder quality. The first floor is poured concrete with steel I beams. It build like a brick shithouse....no pun intended.

betcha they didn't pay a lot for it then being that close to hwy and loud. Same as near an airport-property is cheaper.
John Gotti never lived here, didn’t have anything to do with the house, was built by Victoria and her husband, then he went prison and she remained till I believe 2015. She had gotten the house in the divorce settlement.
Didn’t Victoria Gotti live there just a few years ago? I remember this from their TV show when I was a kid. Damn, she needs to call Luigi for some repairs! If you watched the show back in the day you’ll get that 😂

It’s so funny to hear your comments on how weird the house is. I live in the town right next door to Old Westbury and this house was on and off the market for YEARS and no one ever wanted it. It was always a dump, right on the highway and the design was just a mess. The street it’s on, Birch Hill Court, is gorgeous and every house is so well kept and then this eyesore kills the vibe. 😂😂
Thanks for your comment. It brings things in perspective.
It looked beautiful from the outside but the inside was a disappointment, who ever designed it didn’t know what they were doing
I found it on Google maps from your little bit of info. That white Ford bronco sticks out like a sore thumb.
I thought the design was wacky too! Seems like someone tried TOO HARD to be unique. The building materials were el cheapo too! -hardware, chandeliers, thin, thin stairs like plain pine plank, cinder block walls for garage...
Didn't know he had a mansion somewhere, read that Gotti Sr. was rich but that he lived in a modest Queens, NY house.
His wife and kids did a tv show in the early 2000s I think and I wanna day that they lived in this mansion not Jon gotti
Show was called “growing up gotti” … none of that is Sr’s.
Never let them no where you sleep 💤
In actuality, it isn't even the home John lived in, but instead the one used in the show.
Very cool explore, but definitely worth noting that it is obvious that the majority of the stuff in the home and property are of after Gotti's era. He was convicted in 1992, died in 2002, but there are more modern appliances, dvds, and various other stuff. So, there is likely some stuff maybe brought in from him and some from whatever family members lived in the home after.
This was Victoria's home. The FBI raided it due to some kind of tax scam at one point, I believe. I don't think John Gotti was ever there, and if so, not for long.
Still, a very cool explore.
Also, just to point out, the statement about it being left to Victoria after his death. That is very incorrect. John had all assets seized under Rico. Any property couldn't have been left to his slaughter, as it all was seized by the government.
@Naseem Hampton ua-cam.com/video/8HXVgkqapPM/v-deo.html
Totally awesome my favorite kind of videos thank
Whether Carmine or John Gotti owned the house they were both in the same biz so watching your back was imperative. Cameras can’t pick up everything. With the resources they had and access to the best architects available you’d have to know the design of the house was well thought out and intentional. I think that all of the broken pathways, strangely placed alcoves, no clear view to the upstairs from the bottom of the butterfly staircase, etc. may be to allow nooks and crannies to hide or to allow inconspicuous placement to fire at an intruder. Also having mirrors and windows everywhere are likely to have visibility to see approaching intruders or threats. Also maybe the staggered height level of the guest house in relation to the main house may also be for constant visibility as well.
You have a wonderful imagination I like it but if you go look back somehow maybe on UA-cam on the TV show growing up Gotti you would see the original floor plan. This house has been redone and whoever owned it after her has made a lot of changes to it and I doubt he was a gangster lol
Place is practically on the Long Island Expressway! You give these morons too much credit.
Wrong wrong, and wrong again.
@@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice you are correct. The layout is much different than the original. I wired the house but never watched the show.

Hahahah EXACTLY! And the you tubers keep responding to everyone saying NOT JOHN GOTTIS HOUSE by responding “oh it was bought with John GOTTI money so same thing”……. Nooooo John Gotti was in Jail when Victoria and Carmine bought the place to raise the boys. John Gotti never even stepped foot in that house. The money used to buy it was Carmines income, not Johns as he hadn’t passed away yet.
So stupid.
I love all these youtubers making videos of them going to abandoned building and showing them breaking and entering and trespassing. It warms my heart how smart some people can be
They get permission to enter.
Crazy to see that this thing is abandoned.. if John Gotti was my father and left this mansion, there's no way I could abandon it. If I didn't want to live in it, it'd be maintained, rented out, and/or even turned into something like a museum, bed/breakfast, something. I'd probably live in it though if that was an area I wanted to live in. Otherwise, probably rent it out and maintain it.
with what money all their money is gone only thing they could do is sell
Yeah John Gotti had nothing to do with this house. It was awarded to her by the court after she filed for divorce. Why he kept saying John Gotti is beyond me. Maybe for clicks.
She ended up broke and losing the property to foreclosure I believe so there was no money to maintain. I heard they couldn't get it to sale...I'm guessing they were asking too much and it needed a lot of updates and repairs.
And usually rich people don't want old property...they want to build new houses.
@@fraji1Definitely for the clicks. Kept saying John Gotti’s house & all the history, etc. On their show, Victoria said he never even saw it! Only the plans & photos she took to show him while he was in prison!
If it was truly abandoned I'm pretty sure everything would of been stolen by now.
I've never seen a abandoned place in so somewhat clean and pretty much full with household items.
Why they abndon huge property whrs tht people ????
Regarding any of the abandoned properties I might explore this one I would certainly leave alone.
The only thing “ Gotti “ about this house is the that it was Victoria Gotti-Agnello’s house . Where they filmed “ Growing up Gotti “ ... it was everyone’s understanding that John never even lived there .. and one of those paintings you found in the garage was of one of Victoria’s sons 😂 it’s hard to tell which son it was since they all had that then very popular hair cut “ the crown “ !!! like Pauly D from Jersey Shore !!
I thought this was Victoria's house and not John's. Great footage, however.
Lol! Pauly D hair cut Lmfaoooo right they did and they eyebrows was done like Pauly D
_that was Carmine._
@@rubyred93chev 🤫hush it clout chaser stalker
I remember that show and this house. I wonder what happen? Why she let it go???
Is the house next to the interstate? The traffic seems really loud when you're outside.
It is. It borders the freeway.
@@Jeffrey_Tyler for a fast getaway....or noise to interfere with audio surveillance......both I assume as it seems a strange location choice given the noise and probable air quality issue......absolutely nothing like Paul Castellano's mansion.
This is not John Gotti's house. His daughter Victoria lived here with her kids and the house can be seen on "Growing Up Gotti". John Gotti was famously known for living in the same house on 85th street in Howard Beach. That house was on top of all the other nieghbors. John would NEVER buy a house like this to attract attention. You should change the title and let John RIP. You can just simply say GOTTI HOUSE...
Who cares
Attention? I hope your being sarcastic with that saying
Nigga john gotti is the reason the mob is almost non existent now talk about attracting attention 🤣
Lmao cause attention?😂 he LOVED ATTENTION he’s the reason why the old timers didn’t like him you should do some research
That hand painted picture in the garage of the main house was of Carmine from back when the filmed "Growing Up Gotti" there.I saw a couple episodes of it and thought the place was familiar so I just looked it up.It's sad to see it's falling apart.Maybe they'll 'get an offer they can't refuse' for it.
Its not johns house its his daughters victoria
Exactly! I recognized it from that show as well. Wonder if it was taken by the feds? Although, I don't think they'd let it fall into disrepair (they'd sell it to get some of the money back). Very curious....also, in regards to that staircase and the awkward placement of it, I never noticed that when watching the show, which makes me think that even back then (early 2000's?), the producers knew what a architectural faux pas it was!
I seen that painting too ! But it was hard to tell which boy it was.. all three had that “ Crown Cut “ like Pauly D
I never missed an episode 😂😂😂
Victoria had a hard time maintaining that property. There were cracks in the pillars, the pool was never cleaned and usable in her show. She was always going on about lights being on and doors being left open by her sons. And the pond area wasn't looking too good.
I remember that she had a hard time with the pool and couldn’t afford to maintain the house. It’s really sad.😢
The boys never helped and they were all overspenders
I’m a blessed Gemini ♊️ and I love the house 🏡 so damn much and I’m glad 😀 that I am seeing it
wow you guys are got balls to go break in there. That neighborhood has their own police and usually are all over the place. If the real estate company didn't let you in you definitely would have been arrested . very risky
ua-cam.com/video/8HXVgkqapPM/v-deo.html
They got permıssıon?
Neighbors still respect the home.
At the very least they were asked by the neighbors the purpose of their visit & given a free pass.....no harm, no foul.
They didnt break in. Did you see any doors broke down? Get over yourself
I was wondering how they got accesd
Everyone we get it! It is not John's house, Okay next. Great video as always. Such a shame the house is like this. I hope it gets saved, I would love to buy it if had the money.
check at your local tax office n see what you can conjure up w/them. they want it off THEIR hands so...
The music goes so well with this exploration. Definitely a great opportunity to see 👍🏼 dang i would absolutely live to live there ❤️
The old tv and phone on top of the tv lmfao , where did they get those props from ??
Something tells me those cars in the woods may have been from visitors that were never allowed to leave.
Or never invited
I thought the same.
Why they haven’t removed the cars ?
Probably bones in those trunks
Such a gorgeous property, and sad to see it has been left to rot since being raided in 2016. Was apparently sold in 2020 for a hell of a discounted price, but is clearly going to need a lot of work and money spent on it to make it look proud once more.
SHIIIT, I'd move in right now! 🤣
I wonder why whomever owns it is letting it die
Is any of the gottis alive still
Ojs bronco
@@marcuspolo9106 .... Maybe due to COVID related difficulties they haven't had the time, money, or even been able to get anyone out to renovate the property just yet, hence why it still sits in its current state. But if truth be told, I don't know. 🤷🏻
That was freakin awesome! Thanks for being brave enough to explore 🤣
Are you and Josh brothers? Great video. U just got a new subscriber
The guy In the picture in the garage is Victoria’s son Carmine. That house is amazing. I can still remember episodes of Growing Up Gotti and the fights over the hair gel with the boys lol.
Carmine is going to prison for Covid loan fraud
I'm not sure "the boss" ever lived in this house. He was convicted in 92 and public records show this house was built in 93.
And there was a Bernie Mac book🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️
They Needed more background info , I’m thinking maybe they aren’t from the area as well maybe? 🤷♀️ and had bad info given to them ... but beautiful footage!
I’m going to say that front room upstairs is an add on. That’s why the stairs don’t look right.
That music is so sad and evocative. It was used in one of the videos about the Chris Watts family murders, and really had a big effect on me after that.
Shanann Watts pretty much made her own Lifetime movie since her first husband Larry King said how you couldn't get her off the phone. She documented everything till she and the kids were killed. That's why people are so fascinated with her and her family since was an open person. The new family that moved in, The Millers, the wife's hubby assaulted her, and the house is being up for sale again.
My suggestion is turning the house into a museum. There is a lot of tourists that would love to do a tour of that house if it was set up properly. A lot of history involving that house no doubt. Also did you notice that the fridge and other nice items were still there? Leads me to believe people are a little bit nervous to go into that house and steal LOL
and this chair is where Fat Tony sat when Gotti gave him a trim and a Sicilian straight blade shave. lol oh and that room is where fat Tony became the first ever quad amputee after the fact 💀☠😱🤣
the town of old wesbury would never allow that
Great idea kind of like Elvis Presley home
Do you really want to celebrate a noted crime family?
A museum? For what ? John Sr was away when the house was being built. I guess a bunch of dopey fanboys would go to take their pictures and say they were at Victorias house . The kid doing the video should tell the truth. It never was John’s house he passed down to Victoria. And truth be told the Gottis have no standing in the current mob . Junior was smart enough to run away and after doing almost 40 years in jail And being on fed parole Gene is smart enough not to make any street moves
It's sad to see perfectly good houses being abandoned and Rundown
The taxes are insane in that town, you better be a big time Wall Street exec to afford to live in that area. Taxes keep skyrocketing every year and it eventually forces you to leave. Middle class neighborhoods are also being affected for that same reason, a lot of people moved out of the state. There are many abandoned mansions on the island
That's why you don't build gaudy bullshit like this House. It only serves a vanity purpose. Nothing practical by a long shot
@@AvenueD417 still no place like long island
Great video. There’s no telling what’s undiscovered on that property. Thanks for posting.
There’s some charm to these abandoned mansions that I love
I love how he stressed the fact that WE DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING then says We're definitely going thru those video games
They definitely gonna take a lot of that stuff, good catch on the conversation between them, because I sure did😁🤣😁🤣
They're trying to keep from getting t arrested. The crime already happened and evidence is on video.
I can’t believe this place has not been vandalized being left unlocked.
who would dare touch it?
@@govinda102000 given the location, a lot of stupid people would
Why was it not sold? It would have made money! I’m not understanding why it’s just sitting there? Something is real wrong here
@@sandysizemore501 I think the person/group who bought it from Victoria would like to sell it at a profit. This video is to try to help get the word out. The new owner certainly isn't willing to put the money/risk in it. It's right next to a highway.
It’s in Old Westbury, Long Island. A very wealthy area. Very low chance of much vandalism happening there. Other neighborhoods more likely ;). He definitely had permission to go in there as well.
Great tour! I love how detailed your videos are! I'm a fan 😊

I can't believe you guys weren't curious enough to try to find a way into the space over the foyer. There's a room with a window over the front door.
If you want to know more about the house just watch growin up gotti. It’s interesting to see most of the furniture is still there from the original tv show.
Yeah so interesting.
Fascinating. I so would have gone through every book looking for a hidden treasure and for sure would have checked the cars trunks lol , very cool thanks
Such a shame, it was a beautiful home. The Greco-Roman style. Truly wish I'd win a lottery, I would restore this place.
The New Yorker is a 4 door hardtop, no pillars when the windows are down, super cool.
I always find it interesting how quickly so many ppl are jumping onto a mistake & being nasty in many incidents!!! So it was the daughter's but she did say it was a dream house of his. It is still a part of the family. Can't ppl be more polite
Facts are important.
Pretty sure they lost the house and all the items in it when he was charged. But then again Google does help
You have empathy for Gotti family !! Wtf kind of twisted world do you live in ?
@@ricksmith7659 the same world that gives people the right to voice an opinion even dumb ones like yours but hey, it's the world we live in
