I've not been receiving utility bills at my building. Someone else in
the building said he's been missing a few bills as well. We are getting
mail for people not in the building, so it's not as if the carrier is
delivering nothing at all.

So I figured I'd better call the delivery unit to find out what's going
on. Yesterday, I spoke to a supervisor who claimed he was a unit
supervisor and gave me his name. He had a Spanish surname and accent.

After a very long conversation in which he kept trying to make it my
fault or the fault of the utility companies, he was doing everything he
could to avoid addressing the issue. I told him I knew that someone had
moved from the building a few weeks earlier, so I asked if he could
check if the forwarding order was entered correctly (which I know they
can check from a terminal at the delivery unit) or if that database
controlling DPS sortation had some code in it screwing things up (which
I know they have to call someone else to check).

What's the second database called? I only know it's a possible
source of a problem because of what happened to my mail a year ago.

Meanwhile, I've been having some of my mail sent to a PO Box because the
continuing problems.

Basically, you describe the problem as misdelivery. Nothing more and
nothing less. If you are getting mail for people not in the building, is
the address correct or is it mail for another address? How many apartments
for that address? Are there empty mail receptacles at the address where the
carrier might misdeliver and nobody is seeing the mail?

That is the correct starting point. The supervisor would be the one to
investigate with the carrier or go to the address to verify accurate
delivery. It is irrelevant to comment on his name, accent, sex or anything
else. If he said he was a supervisor, that is enough information.

The building's door has a letter slot. I put my name next to it but
other people who get mail at that address haven't, so the carrier is
really expected to deliver all mail with that address unless he knows
otherwise.

The other day there was both mail for people not in the building, and
misdelivered mail for another address.

Normally, I would you are correct. However, I have seen the video of the
priest in the Chicago church. Oh how times have changed (and not for the
better).
