USPS Suspends Door-To-Door Delivery On Street After Pit Bull Bites Mail Carrier

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Residents on a street in Beechview are raising questions after the Postal Service stopped door-to-door delivery after issues with a dog.

“Where is my mail?”

That’s what people on Wenzell Place in Beechview have been asking for more than three months. The Postal Service has suspended door-to-door delivery there, and KDKA investigator Andy Sheehan went looking for the reason why.

Three months ago around Halloween, a pit bull on the street bit a mail carrier, and mail delivery suddenly stopped. Residents say it hasn’t resumed since.

By way of explanation, the Postal Service sent KDKA this statement:

“We have had an ongoing problem with a dog on that street. Our carrier has been bitten and chased several houses up the street…We will continue to monitor the situation for the safety of our employees.”
