$1.9 Million fine for New York scaffold firm

One of New York’s biggest scaffolding companies must submit to a court-approved financial monitor, and its owners must pay $1.9 million, to resolve a massive felony tax-cheating scheme, a Manhattan judge ruled on Thursday.

Regional Scaffolding owners Paul Mazzucca, 43, and Lawrence Blinn, 51, each must also serve five years’ probation.

Both pleaded guilty in May.

Their Bronx-based scaffolding company has made tens of millions of dollars off city contracts, including at the now-demolished, 9/11-damaged Deutsche Bank building.
