I have family members that have a dash in their address and I leave it out now when I send them mail. No dash aesthetically looks better to me, so I leave it out. Glacier Azure. I used to use the dash but then stopped that altogether.

I need to distinguish between a Queens style address, from a valid ranged address, and an address with a unit. For eg:. In the case of 3, A is a unit at street address THe unit might be a number as well, for eg: A ranged address identifies a range of addresses on a street, and not a unique deliverable address. So, the question is, is there an easy way to identify the Queens style address from the other cases?
Thanks, all. From your answers, it seems that there is no easy way to do this. Wikipedia seems to imply that is true, but does not give any examples. Next, it says "th Avenue". To find the building, start at th Street, on the South side even numbers , and start counting. You'll find that is on the corner of th Street and th Avenue, just like it was when I lived there, because if it was on the other side of th street, it would have been something. As to how to distinguish, you could start by applying the above rules, and seeing if you come up with something that makes sense.
Maybe the Street never intersects the Avenue? Maybe the numbers don't go up that high I don't believe there is a th Street, and I'm not sure about a th Avenue. Maybe the building number is too high you'd live on a very long street if you lived at th Avenue, especially because the distance from th Street to th Street on th Avenue isn't very great: it's a short block in that direction.
Unfortunately addresses don't have enough to "verify themselves" like a mod 10 checksum on a credit card. This means that without external information, there really is no way to know for sure how the address is supposed to look in a standardized format as compared to the original, unprocessed input format.
This is where something like an address verification web service would come into play. Most address validation web services will standardize the format of the address and expose the various component parts of the address so you can do additional process or inspection or whatever.

There aren't avenues or streets in Queens less than of each. So the X and Y would rarely have the same amount of digits. The system was created to avoid confusion with the other boroughs before we had the Zip code system. I mean, there are some locations in Astoria, that if you don't give a zip code or a neighborhood name or use the dash system , google maps will point to Long Island City and that's within the borough.
No other borough in the city uses this system. It's just a Queens gem. Facebook Twitter Reddit Email. NYC news never sleeps. Get the Gothamist Daily newsletter and don't miss a moment.
