An unlicensed animal-boarding operation in a Park Slope apartment is still operating despite three dogs being killed by raging mutts while there, the dead pooches’ stricken owners allege.
The NYPD responded to a half-dozen of the allegations between March 2022 and Oct. 3, 2024, and found “no evidence of the violation at that time” — though most of the incident reports were closed within hours, if not minutes after the complaint was made, according to city records. A department rep told The Post in a statement Monday, “Boarding facilities are supposed to be safe havens for our pets, not places where they experience harm.
Alissa Vladimir, a friend of the owners of a beloved 7-year-old long-haired Shih Tzu mix Albie who allegedly died at the apartment after being attacked by another dog in February, told The Post, “You’d think that New York City is such a dog-friendly place.She said she took Penny to Stankeviciute-Evans’ apartment for a routine overnight stay — but the dog boarder came back to her home empty-handed.A third dog, a female named Honey, also died while boarding at the business in May, Lindsay said.
Lindsay told The Post that the dog boarding business had been a popular word-of-mouth recommendation in the neighborhood and was recommended as an affordable option by her former dog walker in 2021.
