How do you determine the end of a street address?

For example

10 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10020

Street Number: 10 Street name: Avenue City: Of The Americas New York

There are a few address formats that don't strictly follow the usual USPS address standards - "StreetType of StreetName" is one of them. Some of them are already addressed in the API (like using letters instead of street numbers), addressing others is still in progress.

We are currently working on identifying these unusual addresses and plan to integrate them into the API very soon.
