The US Supreme Court refused to question New York’s decades-old rent-control system, turning away two appeals from apartment-building owners.

The rebuff Tuesday ends months of deliberations over the cases, which had been fully briefed since late September. The court as a whole gave no explanation for either the rejection or the unusually long delay.
