Tenants report repairs after Pinnacle-era management replaced at Summit properties
Summary
Board members and tenants told Bronx Community Board 11 on June 18 that buildings tied to Pinnacle’s bankruptcy now have new management companies conducting surveys and repairs; tenant associations were credited for improving responsiveness and HPD is reportedly monitoring affected buildings.
At the June 18 meeting, residents reported that buildings affected by Pinnacle-related bankruptcies now have new management companies and that tenants are seeing some corrective work.
Mr. Dink, participating from the meeting, said Pinnacle buildings in other areas were sold at auction while the committee’s local buildings were assigned new management companies. He said new managers have been "extensively surveying the buildings," taking videos, talking to supers and beginning repairs such as new roofs.
Speakers credited tenant associations with pressing for responsiveness. One attendee said the change in management plus increased agency attention was in part the result of mayoral directives ordering HPD and the Department of Buildings to step up enforcement. Committee members said they will continue to monitor repairs and coordination with HPD.
No formal remedial orders or motions were recorded at the meeting; residents and committee members described ongoing engagement with the new managers and HPD oversight as the primary path for resolving outstanding habitability concerns.
