A controversial Upper Manhattan restaurant run by a key figure in the City Hall corruption scandal faces closure following the suspension of its liquor license over scores of violations and the drug arrest of a manager, The Post has learned.

La Marina was ordered to immediately stop serving booze in an “emergency summary order of suspension” issued by the State Liquor Authority last week.

“I’ve taken licenses and revoked them for much less than this,” SLA Chairman Vincent Bradley said during a hearing on Wednesday.

“This place is a safety risk to the public… to your employees and to anyone else in this neighborhood as far as drugs and all the other charges.”

The Hudson River hotspot, located on city parkland in Inwood, is co-owned by Fernando Mateo, a former cabby advocate and campaign fundraiser for Mayor de Blasio.

Mateo became enmeshed in pay-for-play allegations surrounding Hizzoner when he admitted to The Post in 2016 that he’d funneled $18,800 in “straw donations” to the mayor’s campaign in a failed bid to score a city job for a female associate.

In March 2017, both the feds and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said they wouldn’t file charges against de Blasio following lengthy investigations, and Mateo was never charged over his admissions.

Since July, the SLA has slapped La Marina with 88 violations, including allegedly serving booze to minors and drunken customers, failing to meet health and safety codes, and permitting drug trafficking on premises.

On Nov. 20, La Marina’s bar manager, Christian Mendez, 33, was arrested for allegedly selling cocaine, oxycodone and marijuana to undercover cops seven times since late July, police said.

Mendez — who’s since been fired — allegedly had 32 ecstasy pills on him when he was busted. He denies any wrongdoing.

In July, years of community complaints about La Marina’s operations prompted cops to lead a multi-agency raid that uncovered dozens of violations of city health, fire and building codes.

The restaurant was forced to temporarily close when it was assessed 74 points — more than twice the number that gets eateries slapped with the lowest-possible “C” grade — over its filthy condition.

Geoffrey Croft of the government watchdog group NYC Park Advocates accused La Marina of getting a “free pass” from City Hall for many years.

“La Marina’s license agreement with the Parks Department should’ve been canceled years ago because of the violations,” he said.

“Instead, it continued to be protected by politics and Mateo’s connections. No other business in the city would be allowed to operate like this.”

The restaurant, which opened in 2012, operates seasonally from Memorial Day through September under a 15-year deal with the Parks Department.

The agreement also includes a provision that allows weddings, concerts and other events all year round, but the Parks Department last month barred any special events “until further notice.”

A Nov. 23 email said officials were “seriously concerned” La Marina’s owners could run the business “in a safe manner.”

The city’s contract with La Marina includes an escape clause for illegal activity, and a spokeswoman said the Parks Department was “determining next steps” regarding the agreement.

Spokeswoman Crystal Howard also insisted that all businesses with Parks Department contracts were “treated with the same level of oversight.”

Mateo hung up the phone on a reporter seeking comment.

A business partner, Josh Rosen, didn’t return messages regarding the SLA action, but he told The Post last month that Mendez’s arrest was “an isolated incident” and said La Marina “intends to correct all pending violations where required.”
