A Brooklyn woman was arrested after two dozen animals — including a dead dog — were discovered in her deplorable Brooklyn apartment, according to authorities.
Jessica Styles, 45, was hit with a slew of charges after rescuers and cops discovered 27 neglected animals in an apartment on Herkimer Street in Ocean Hill on Wednesday, according to the NYPD and the ASPCA.
Authorities were executing a search warrant at the property after a complaint about animals living in poor conditions was filed last week regarding a strong smell and barking from the house of horrors.
Many of the animals, including 22 dogs, four cats, and one pigeon, were found housed in crates throughout the residence. One dead puppy was also discovered in the horror apartment, the ASPCA said.
The animals were all taken to the ASPCA Animal Recovery Center in Manhattan and the organization’s recovery and rehabilitation center in the Hudson Valley, for further treatment, officials said.
Many of the fidos rescued from the home were covered in urine and feces and had severe flea infestations. Some of the younger pups were also underweight, and the older dogs had untreated dental diseases.
The horde of adorable pets will receive more medical and behavioral care to recover, animal rescuers added.
Styles was charged with one count of aggressive cruelty to animals and 27 counts of torture, injure, and not feeding an animal, cops said.
“Keeping animals in horrid living conditions and failing to provide their needs is a crime, and my office is committed to holding accountable anyone in Brooklyn who’s heartless enough to do that,” Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement.
“I’m grateful for those who reported this alleged large-scale abuse and for the ASPCA for rescuing and rehabilitating these maltreated pets.”
The ASPCA will continue to assist the NYPD and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office with their criminal investigation into the alleged
The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for further comment.
