A federal judge has granted tenants of under-fire landlord Joel Weiner and his Pinnacle Group the right to file a class-action lawsuit. Rent-regulated tenants have been charging for a while that Pinnacle harassed them to get them out of their apartments. The company has at least 60,000 tenants, and the class-action suit?an expansion of one filed by 11 tenants in 2007?is open to anyone who's rented from Pinnacle since 2004, so this could get big fast.
