20 years of online shopping and a whole industry excited to collect data and autofill and address checking functions STILL mess up apartments.
The system is set up to work well with houses, but there is no consensus on if "apartment/suite" should be a separate field or not... and it's also still often rendered wrong, and makes bad suggestions such as "correcting"

Granted when I worked in database design this was my "thing" so I'm hypercritical ... but still.
I get personally offended because I suspect that it's some kind of American suburban-centric mentality that makes apartments an afterthought.
The correct answer is that "apartment suite" should be a separate field NOT tacked on to the street address, but in most renderings it should be on the same line with a comma.
And you need to deftly separate this information if the user tries to enter it in the address line.
ANYWAY.
Yeah that's very typical. There are like 100 units in our building but next door it's about 300.
dude there's like 20k units added every year. i guess it must be fun to be so arrogantly wrong (and prove her point) tho
Having a single house address in NYC means one of few things things:
1. You live in deep Brooklyn, Queens, SI or maybe the Bronx. These are working class and middle class neighborhoods and the opposite of mansions.
2. You are one of like 37 people who have one of the few intact brownstones, and probably gave your house a damn name for some reason "The Glopper House" it's as expensive as a mansion but not as big. You brag about your 4' by 8' backyard.
3. You are the Mayor.
Given that I brag about our roof garden all the time I can't be too hard on the people who brag about those tiny dark little yards where you can't even grown corn. (rooftop garden>tiny yard)
