The 63-year-old woman was at the residence on Bayard Street between Union Avenue and Lorimer Street around 1:40 pm when the dog attacked, sinking its teeth into her left foot, cops said.
Emergency responders put the detached appendage on ice and rushed her to the hospital, while officers took the dog to in a kennel to an Animal Care and Control of New York City rescue center, authorities said.
The residents were dog-sitting the pup according to a New York Post report, but it was not the first time the victim had met the dog, police said.
A visibly distressed apartment owner turned up at the scene shortly after police arrived, according to ace photographer Paul Martinka, who captured the aftermath of the attack.
The owner later visited the housekeeper in the hospital, according to police.
