One of NYC's most notorious landlords, Pinnacle Group, has sent 93 buildings -- 5,000 rent-stabilized apartments -- to a bankruptcy auction. Tenants in these buildings have documented years of mismanagement and neglect, with elevator outages trapping elderly and disabled tenants on high floors, and children suffering from the presence of mold and pests. If the buildings are sold at auction on December 12th, they are likely to fall into the hands of another predatory landlord with the same practices and priorities. Tenants have taken matters into their own hands to organize a union — a historic effort that spans 40 buildings in 3 boroughs already — so they can preserve their housing and ensure critical repairs are finally addressed. They have the support of more than 20 elected representatives, and are actively working towards a real solution with city agencies. But aligning government resources and capacity takes time. Help us make sure tenants get a say in the auction process. Sign this petition to the bankruptcy judge and Flagstar Bank (the creditor in the proceedings) urging them to slow down the auction and allow city agencies the time to take whatever steps are needed to protect the people who live in these buildings long-term. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/10000-rent-stabilized-tenants-deserve-a-say-over-their-homes
