A property management company must pay $119,000 in wages and interest to six workers at a condominium in Queens because it failed to pay them prevailing wages for more than two years, according to a settlement announced Thursday by the city comptroller.
The owner of the Long Island City condo, 11-51 47th Real LLC, received a partial tax break for the 53-unit building under the city’s prevailing wage laws.

It also did not pay the workers the supplemental benefit rate in lieu of providing the benefits.
