BROOKLYN, NY — The Pratt Station Post Office will suspend retail operations at the present location effective October 25, 2014. This comes as a follow up to an August, 2014 announcement stating the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) would be vacating the premises at the present Pratt Station Post Office in Brooklyn NY. Postal officials are acting upon a request received from the building owner stating that they wish to reclaim the space leased by the USPS.
