BEDFORD BLDG. CO. INC. v. Beame
Bedford Building Co., Inc., Et Al., Respondents, v. Abraham Beame, Individually and as Mayor of the City of New York, Et Al., Respondents, and Metropolitan Council on Housing Et Al., Intervenors-Appellants
Opinion
Per Curiam.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
Again the court is called on by judicial construction to *731 insure the practical functioning of New York City’s rent-control program. We reiterate our distinct preference for remedial legislation (Matter of 89 Christopher v Joy, 35 NY2d 213, 220 ). We agree with the unanimous view at the Appellate Division, however, that "[u]nder the circumstances, in order to avoid turmoil in the housing industry and to enable landlords to maintain their buildings and to avoid large retroactive payments by tenants, an interim order is warranted.” ( 45 AD2d 950 .) (Cf.
Matter of Benson Realty Corp. v Kerr, 42 AD2d 1050 , mot for lv to app den 33 NY2d 521 .) We would only add that we find no merit to intervenors’ claim that the tenants are constitutionally entitled to notice and an opportunity to be heard before rents are adjusted (cf.
Wasservogel v Meyerowitz, 300 NY 125 ).
Chief Judge Breitel and Judges >Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler, Fuchsberg and Cooke concur in Per Curiam opinion.
Order affirmed, with costs.
