Is this sentence correct or is it a run-on? Does it need a comma?

It is not uncommon to hear the querulous drivel of Marshall resound throughout the break room as he reclines and repines in the chair near the fridge.

Hi, Seems fine to me. You don't need a comma. Because this seems to be written in a high and rather old-fashioned register, I'd suggest the word 'refrigerator' instead of 'fridge'.

Thank you, Clive.

I think I'll opt for "ice box."
