Justin Casquejo, 16, had previously pleaded guilty in July to a misdemeanor for scaling tall buildings without permission. He’s expected to be hit with 23 days of community service.
Casquejo’s journey at 1 World Trade Center on March 16 drew attention to security concerns at the nation’s tallest building. It came a week before three men were arrested for skydiving off the unfinished skyscraper.
Casquejo, who is from Weehawken, fancies himself an extreme-climbing aficionado.
He climbed through a fence at the construction site and then made his way up the structure via a ladder, scaffolding, elevators and stairs.
Casquejo also got past an inattentive security guard, authorities said.
The teen daredevil spent about two hours on top of the tower before heading back down and finally running into an alert security guard.
His antics led to huge security changes at the site.
The guard he slipped by was fired and the building’s head of security resigned. The Port Authority hired a company that does security at its airport to guard trade center entrances.
