A fire in a Staten Island home that had been rebuilt with more than a million dollars in taxpayer funds is raising new questions about the quality of the work in the city's Hurricane Sandy Recovery program.

The city's Build it Back program spent more than $1,090,000 repairing and storm-proofing Lisa McSherry's home after it was battered by Hurricane Sandy.

Mayor de Blasio's Office even touted the work on its FaceBook page.

But since McSherry moved back in a year ago, the home has been nothing but trouble. 

"I don't feel safe. I don't feel safe," McSherry said.

On December 21, McSherry was hosting a party, when her brother smelled smoke. 

Her husband touched the wall near their wood-burning stove and quickly called 911. 

Firefighters discovered a fire behind it.

"Eight feet away, the wall was on fire. And that to maybe have lost everything, I don't know if Build It Back can fix that," McSherry said.

We first met McSherry at NY1's Town Hall meeting in June on Build it Back. 

She said her rebuilt house would only heat to 63 degrees in the winter.  

The family depended on that wood-burning stove - installed by Build it Back - for warmth. Now it is destroyed along with parts of her home. 

McSherry says fire officials gave her two theories for the cause: The stove was installed improperly or a nail found piercing a wire in the wall set off a spark.

Either way, McSherry says she knows who's at fault.

"There is not a doubt in my mind that Build it Back is responsible," McSherry said.

Officially, the FDNY tells NY1 only that the fire was caused by a wire in the wall. 

McSherry says she's especially troubled that smoke alarms apparently were installed improperly by Build it Back, and did not go off.

"My blueprints show a smoke alarm right there. I just installed that one last week. They show smoke alarms in the centers of the room, so my husband and I went and bought new smoke alarms and installed them. When you read the instructions of a smoke alarm, it says not to install them within four inches of a wall, not to put them into corners. Every single smoke alarm in this house was installed wrong," McSherry said.

Adding insult to injury, firefighters had to return to the home after an outlet sparked. 

And last week, water pipes to her dishwasher and washing machine froze. 

The city projected in 2016 that rebuilding and elevating the home would cost nearly $1.1 million.

But that estimate does not include work to repair the heating system, an uneven floor and now fire damage.  

In July, NY1 asked under the Freedom of Information Law for details on exactly how much the city spent.

NY1 is still waiting for a full response.

The Build it Back program responded to NY1's story with a statement, which reads, “Build It Back and its contractors work hard to ensure all construction-related issues are looked at and corrected and that homeowners and their families are safe, including at this home.”
