42-17 Junction Boulevard, Queens, NY 11368

The two-family house at 42-17 Junction Boulevard in Corona, owned by Sajib Modak, has experienced several significant issues over the past decade, most notably related to heating systems and pest control. Most recently, in February 2025, there were complaints about inadequate heat and hot water, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to investigate due to access issues; this marks the third heating-related incident in recent years, following a similar emergency complaint in 2025 that was also closed without resolution confirmation.

The property has an active violation as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved. Pest control has been a recurring concern, with a non-emergency unsanitary condition complaint filed in December 2019 and documented rodent management attempts in 2012 and 2015, though the building passed a rodent inspection in March 2015. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing difficulties with basic services and building inspections.

The most pressing current concern appears to be the unresolved heating system issues, which have recurred multiple times and spanned several years. While the property maintained basic compliance with rodent inspections as of 2015, the more recent pest complaints in 2019 indicate this may not be an isolated issue. The active violation regarding the 2020 external low-pressure inspection from 2023 suggests potential deficiencies in building systems maintenance and compliance with regulatory requirements.
