Barbara H. Eaton v. New York City Conciliation and Appeals Board, Tenants' Association of St. John's Colony…

The Court held that the exemption from rent‑stabilization statutes does not extend to religious institutions, finding the statutory language unambiguous and the exemption unconstitutional under the Establishment Clause. It also concluded that the statute contains no constitutional infirmity and remanded the attorneys'‑fees issue for further determination.
