As Retiredguy123 stated, the interior of the postal facility is government-controlled property under the jurisdiction of the Postal Service

I think any lessee has the same rights not just the government or who would be foolish enough to lease to the government if that gave the government a proprietary right that could infringe on the ownership of the lessor? For example, I lease a building for my barbershop and call it "my barbershop" and I maintain , operate and control it, but that does not convey true property ownership even though I might refer to it as my property. Bottom line I can probably require a mask as if I owner the property.

The simple rule that all government property is exempt from property taxes is complicated by the Machinery Act’s treatment of leasehold interests in exempt government property. A leasehold interest is the tenant’s right to use the leased property for the term described in the lease.
