I need to distinguish between a Queens style address, from a valid ranged address, and an address with a unit#. For eg:
Queens style: 123-125 Some Street, NY
Ranged Address: 6414-6418 37th Ln SE, Olympia, WA 98503
Address with unit#: 1990-A Gildersleeve Ave, Bronx, NY.
In the case of #3, A is a unit# at street address 1990. THe unit# might be a number as well, for eg: 1990-12. 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?
---- UPDATE ---
Thanks, all. From your answers, it seems that there is no easy way to do this. I basically need to know if a street address in the form ABCD-WXYZ is a Queens-style address pointing to a single property, or if it is a ranged address.
How about some followup questions:
1) Are all addresses in NY City of the form ABCD-WXYZ? 2) Are there any other places in US where this style of addressing is used? Wikipedia seems to imply that is true, but does not give any examples.
