Justin Visconti, 37, is facing four counts of aggravated animal cruelty.
A resident and building employees discovered several dead animals in the trash chute at the Porter Regency building on Lincoln Avenue in Mineola. They made the discoveries over several different occasions.
The cats were wrapped in duct tape, cardboard boxes, and sheets. Investigators said the kittens and cats died from blunt force trauma.
The animals did not belong to Visconti and it is not clear where they came from. Officials say he does live in the building.
Visconti's neighbor's found out about the deaths when police officers began knocking on doors, asking residents if they were missing their cats.
Others say they got a letter about the grizzly discoveries.
"It was put under the door and they said it was another incident of a cat being disposed of," one neighbor said.
Neighbors are now guarding their animals.
"This person needs help. That's terrible that something so innocent that doesn't understand what's happening to do that, that's the worst thing I can think of," neighbor and cat owner Alex Aronowicz said.
Visconti is due in court in Hempstead to answer to the charges.
