The remains of a woman were found stuffed inside a black plastic bag in the basement of a Brooklyn building Sunday, police and law-enforcement sources said.
Cops responded to a 911 call for an unconscious person at The Borinquen Public Houses at 330 Bushwick Avenue on the border of Williamsburg and Bushwick at 9:38 a.m., police said.
In the basement of the NYCHA apartment building, officers found the remains of an adult woman in a black plastic bag, the sources and cops said.
Trayvon Brown, 31, who has lived in the building for 24 years, told The Post he heard a fire truck when he woke up and looked outside to see housing maintenance “surrounding” a black plastic bag.
“My intuition told me that’s a body,” Brown said.
“But I doubted it. I was like, it can’t be a body because it’s not adding up,” he said, adding that the bag appeared to be “shaped weird.”
Maintenance people were seen coming in and out of the compact room at the front of the building, according to two sisters who live there and wished to remain anonymous.
“There’s a silver door right here in the front, and that’s where the maintenance people go into. That’s where they found the body,” one sister recalled.
The investigation was ongoing.
The Office of Chief Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death, according to authorities.
One 47-year-old resident noted that the front and back entrances to the building are unlocked, leaving residents vulnerable to anyone who chooses to walk inside.
“Anybody could come up in this building. Any random person, any rapist, any murderer, any anybody with bad intentions,” she said. “And even if you want to just go upstairs and keep warm, because it’s so cold outside, it’s open for everybody. It’s open for the public, and this is a residential home for the peoples here.
“We should be secure,” she added. “This is serious because there’s young kids here.”
Other residents were also left fearing for their safety after the gruesome discovery.
“I don’t trust anyone, I’m walking around with a taser, I don’t care,” one said.
