Bill Cosby is facing foreclosure at his townhouse at 243 East 61st Street. As first picked up by PincusCo, the 87-year-old, who was released from prison in 2021 after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his 2018 sexual-assault conviction, apparently owes $4.2 million on the Lenox Hill mansion. Camille Cosby is also named in the suit, filed by CitiMortgage on December 2.

Bill Cosby, who has been accused of sexual assault and misconduct by more than 50 women, bought the 5,000-square-foot, four-story brownstone in 1980 for a reported $327,000. Cosby’s late son, Ennis, was reported to live there before his death in 1997.
Even if Cosby loses the house on East 61st, it appears he’s holding on to his other Lenox Hill home — just ten blocks up on East 71st. The 12,000-square-foot neoclassical mansion was traded among private schools until 1987, when Cosby bought it for a reported $6.2 million and kicked off a multiyear renovation. That house is just a few doors down from 9 East 71st Street, Jeffrey Epstein’s former residence, which was snapped up in 2021 by a Goldman Sachs executive for a cool $51 million. A lovely block.
