Management Alert – Property Condition Issues at Spring Garden Station

While conducting a site visit for the Employee Safety – Postal Service COVID-19 Response audit, we identified building maintenance and safety issues at Philadelphia’s Spring Garden Station that were not directly related to the scope of the audit. Specifically, we identified 30 deficiencies ranging from minor to more serious violations. We believe these issues warrant management’s immediate attention and corrective action.

The Postal Service has over 30,000 leased and owned retail facilities nationwide. It is required to maintain a safe and healthy environment for both employees and customers in accordance with its internal policies and procedures and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration safety laws.
