The Supreme Court has decided not to hear a challenge to New York City’s strict rent control laws.

The decision to deny the petition in Community Housing Improvement Program v. City of New York (court file 22-1095) came on Oct. 2 in an unsigned order. No justices dissented. For oral arguments to be scheduled, at least four of the nine justices have to vote to grant the petition.
