Ohio 1 District: Delivery Operations in the Cleveland, OH, Area

During the week of September 22, 2025, we performed a self-initiated audit at the Cleveland Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) and three delivery units serviced by the P&DC. The delivery units included Station B, Cleveland Heights Station, and Shaker Heights Station in Cleveland, OH.  

We issued individual reports for the three delivery units and the P&DC. We also issued another report summarizing the results of our audits at all three delivery units with specific recommendations for management to address.

The audit team identified deficiencies in five of the areas we reviewed affecting mail delivery and property conditions at the three delivery units.
