I'm guessing the house is abandoned due to a lien, foreclosure or something tax related due to her ex-husband's criminal activities.
In 2009 she was facing foreclosure after skipping mortgage payments for 2 years.
In 2010 she made a $2.6 million payment to remove the lien on the house.
In 2015 she put the house on the market again.
In 2016 the house was raided, this is also the last year she lived in the house.
From May, 2009:
[quote]The daughter of the late Gambino crime boss owes JPMorgan Chase about $650,000 and hasn't made a payment in two years, court papers say.
[quote]A four-judge panel of the Brooklyn Appellate Division has granted the lender's motion for summary judgment on the foreclosure and the appointment of a referee to report whether the six-acre property can be sold in one parcel.
[quote]Gotti blamed the financial mess on her ex-husband Carmine Agnello, who she says took a $856,000 loan against the home without her knowledge. She became the sole owner of the home in 2004 and the mortgage went into default while she and Agnello "were involved in a bitter matrimonial action," court papers say. Agnello pleaded guilty to racketeering in 2004.
[quote]"I won a house that was a booby prize riddled with debt," Gotti told the Daily News.
[quote]Agnello was sprung from prison earlier this year after serving about eight years .
[quote]Gotti said he still hasn't paid court-ordered alimony or child support for his three sons although he's living large with his new wife in a tony suburb in Ohio.
[quote]"He still owes the federal government nearly $10 million and yet they still allow him to live this way?" she said.
[quote]When their middle son expressed a desire to attend law school, Agnello responded, "'Wow, I'm proud of him, but I have no money,'" Gotti said.
[quote]The Long Island mansion, with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, is on the market for $3 million - marked down from $4 million.
[quote]It's an eyesore in the exclusive enclave, in need of a fresh paint job and landscaping.
[quote]The yearly tax bill for the compound, which includes a stable and pond, is $92,000.
[quote]Gotti says she staved off a scheduled foreclosure sale in 2005 by agreeing to pay JPMorgan Chase $50,000 up front and $25,000 a month.
[quote]Gotti made several payments and then stopped, which prompted the bank to declare her in default again.
