○ immigration limits were set to reduce the number of people moving into cities.

Explanation:

How the Other Half Lives, Jacob Riis's photojournalism work, exposed the dangerous, unsanitary conditions of New York City tenements. This public outcry pressured lawmakers to create regulations for safer housing. The other options are incorrect: rent was not reduced due to the work, landlord lobbying did not block change, and immigration limits were unrelated to this text's impact.

Answer:

Legislation was passed establishing codes to make buildings more safe for tenants.
