Supreme Court Won’t Hear Challenge to New York Rent Control Law

The Second Circuit previously ruled building owners’ rights were not violated because they could still evict tenants in limited circumstances.

The Supreme Court declined on Nov. 12 to take up a challenge to New York’s rent control law, which grants a building’s tenants veto power over condominium conversions.

The decision came in the form of an unsigned order regarding the petition filed in G-Max Management Inc. v. State of New York. The court did not provide reasons, which is its usual practice when turning down a case.
