🌱Sunset Park Daily: Meet Merryweather + No Camera at 36th St. Station

Hey, people of Sunset Park! Diane Witek here with a fresh Sunset Park Daily.

First, today's weather:

Morning mist, then a shower. High: 66, low: 47.

Here are the top stories today in Sunset Park:

1. Sunset Park area pets are waiting to be adopted. Meet Merryweather, a tuxedo cat up for adoption. Or you may consider fostering. Offering a needy animal a safe, comforting and supportive environment while she waits to be adopted, helps socialize a shelter pet to enhance her adoption potential. (Sunset Park Patch)
2. Check out who's hiring in the Sunset Park area. There are still many openings to select from: customer service, purchasing, and some where you can work from home. The latest job openings in the area are compiled by Patch and ZipRecruiter. (Sunset Park Patch)
3. Members of Congress want answers from the MTA following the Brooklyn subway shooting because the cameras in the 36th Street station were not working due to a server issue. Police acknowledged that security cameras in three stations weren’t working on the morning of April 12. An inquiry into why the cameras were not transmitting and a review of the maintenance and repair program for the critical equipment has been initiated by the Office of the Inspector General.

4. The Sunset Park Material Recovery Facility, a processing center for New York City’s curbside metal, glass, and plastic recyclables, sent a cloud of black smoke over Kings County as New York awoke for Earth Day 2022 on Friday. A large pile of trash caught fire, firefighters responded to a call just after 7 a.m. at the Sims Municipal Recycling facility at 472 2nd Ave., within the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal.
