For tenants who lived or currently reside in Bronx buildings owned and managed by the Pinnacle Group, a payout awaits. But many have yet to claim it. It’s a reason why Senator Gustavo Rivera is making the rounds in his district, reminding locals they may be entitled to a part of a class action settlement. Since Sept. 29, Rivera has visited hundreds of tenants reminding them of the settlement between the management firm and residents.

Lawyers for Pinnacle settled their class action suit filed by tenants who alleged tricky evictions tactics as a way to hike up rents. The case stretches back to 2006.

Despite notices distributed since the suit settled during the summer, lawyers representing the Bronx victims say only one percent of tenants have responded to the settlement, a reason why Rivera’s been visiting Pinnacle-owned residences in his 33rd Senate District since Sept. 29. Nearly half of the 62 Pinnacle-owned buildings are located in his district. Rivera is expected to show up at the following Bronx sites:

Sunday, Oct. 5, 4 to 8 p.m.

–  2185 Valentine Ave.
–  2028-32 Valentine Ave.
–  2340 Valentine Ave.

Thursday, Oct. 9, 5:30 to 7 p.m.
–  2800 Heath Ave.

Rivera will also visit two other buildings in mid-October. To find out more, call (718) 933-2034.
