The same scaffolding firm behind last week’s near-tragedy at the Freedom Tower was responsible for a fatal 2007 Midtown accident that sent two window washers plunging 47 stories.

Tractel, of Long Island City, failed to properly maintain a scaffold that snapped on Dec. 7, 2007, at Solow Tower at 265 E. 66th St., the state Labor Department found.

Window washer Edgar Moreno was killed. His brother, Alcides Moreno, miraculously survived his critical injuries.

A Manhattan Supreme Court judge later found Tractel liable for shoddily installed cables suspending the scaffold from the high-rise roof.

The company settled multimillion-dollar lawsuits before trial.

A call to Tractel was not returned.
