The speaker of the New York state Assembly says lawmakers are “nowhere near a resolution” on extending New York City’s lapsed rent regulations.

Democratic Speaker Carl Heastie of the Bronx says Thursday that talks between the Assembly, the Senate and Gov. Andrew Cuomo continue but that no compromises have been found.

The rent rules expired Monday after lawmakers failed to agree on the extension. Assembly Democrats want the rent protections strengthened while Senate Republicans want to require income verification checks to ensure tenants are eligible to get the benefit.

The showdown has forced lawmakers to postpone the adjournment of the 2015 session, which was scheduled to end Wednesday.

Lawmakers say they hope to finish their work Thursday or Friday to prevent the session from going into another week.
