Before: Renwick, J.P., Friedman, Singh, Shulman, Higgitt, JJ.
Orders, Supreme Court, New York County (Eileen A. Rakower, J.), entered on or about May 17, 2021, June 17, 2021, and June 23, 2021, which denied the petitions to annul respondent New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal's (DHCR) September 6, 2019 "Explanatory Addenda" to rent deregulation orders dated January 7, 2019, April 5, 2019, April 12, 2019, and May 3, 2019, to annul DHCR's orders, dated March 5, 2020 and August 21, 2020, denying the petitions for administrative review challenging the addenda, and to reinstate the deregulation orders, and dismissed the proceedings brought pursuant to CPLR article 78, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
DHCR's explanatory addenda and the orders denying the petitions for administrative review challenging the addenda were not arbitrary and capricious, nor were they affected by an error of law (see Matter of 160 E. 84th St. Assoc. LLC v New York State Div. of Hous. & Community Renewal, 205 A.D.3d 635, 636 [1st Dept 2022]; Matter of 160 E. 84th St. Assoc. LLC v New York State Div. of Hous. & Community Renewal, 205 A.D.3d 601, 601-602 [1st Dept 2022]; Matter of 160 E. 84th St. Assoc. LLC v New York State Div. of Hous. & Community Renewal, 202 A.D.3d 610, 611 [1st Dept 2022]).
We have considered petitioners' remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
