Customers said the mailboxes at the facility are overflowing, and people cannot access their P.O. Boxes, packages and mail.

"The Postal Service leases the facility, and the property owner is in the process of making necessary repairs. We hope normal operations will resume soon," Philip Bogenberger, a spokesperson for USPS, said.
