Error parsing address containing building name and apartment
I have an address similar to the following:
70 STRAWBERRY HILL AVE THE FAIRFIELD, APT 12-3B STAMFORD, CT 06902-2630
When usaddress attempts to parse, it sees THE as an IntersectionSeparator and FAIRFIELD as a StreetName which causes it to throw an error ERROR: Unable to tag this string because more than one area of the string has the same label
In this case, THE FAIRFIELD should both be tagged as BuildingName I believe?
@SilentChris I see what you mean, yea that should definitely be a BuildingName! Do you happen to have any more examples of this kind of address that you can share? Ideally 8 - 12 examples would be great, but no worries if not.
This is the only one I've run across so far - it was from a public site for looking up contractor licenses so I'm sure there are plenty of examples to be had - but might be tricky to find ones that cause this particular issue
@SilentChris Gotcha, we'll do some searching for similar addresses and try to replicate this a few times
