Hi! This does look like an interesting case. Do you have any more addresses of this type you could share? Also, if you have an idea of the kind of tagging you're looking for, for this address in particular, that would be helpful in tagging more like it properly!

Hi @arikivandeput, thanks for all these addresses and the new example! I have a couple questions about tagging at the end if you don't mind.

The parser differentiates between subaddress identifiers and types. In your initial example 638 BIRD BAY DR E #⁠112 BLD 50 VENICE, FL, 34285, the error happened because the types and identifiers weren't grouped together and couldn't be concatenated.

 ('638', 'AddressNumber'),
 ('BIRD', 'StreetName'),
 ('BAY', 'StreetName'),
 ('DR', 'StreetNamePostType'),
 ('E', 'StreetNamePostDirectional'),
 ('#', 'SubaddressType'),  # a type
 ('112', 'SubaddressIdentifier'),  # an identifier
 ('BLD', 'SubaddressType'),  # a type
 ('50', 'SubaddressIdentifier'),  # an identifier
 ('VENICE,', 'PlaceName'),
 ('FL,', 'StateName'),
 ('34285', 'ZipCode')

If the above example had the types one after the other, then followed by the identifiers together, then that wouldn't raise an error. So our solution here would be to get them to be labeled in such a way that they are grouped. For example, here's what the parser returns on 2119 HARBOURSIDE DR #1001 BLD 1 LONGBOAT KEY, FL, 34228 after the most recent changes we've added since checking this out:

 ('2119', 'AddressNumber'),
 ('HARBOURSIDE', 'StreetName'),
 ('DR', 'StreetNamePostType'),
 ('#', 'SubaddressIdentifier'),  # an identifier
 ('1001', 'SubaddressIdentifier'),  # an identifier
 ('BLD', 'SubaddressType'),  # a type
 ('1', 'SubaddressIdentifier'),  # an identifier
 ('LONGBOAT', 'PlaceName'),
 ('KEY,', 'PlaceName'),
 ('FL,', 'StateName'),
 ('34228', 'ZipCode')
# error would be raised

But if we put BLD 1 first like 2119 HARBOURSIDE DR **BLD 1 #1001** LONGBOAT KEY, FL, 34228 we get:

 ('2119', 'AddressNumber'),
 ('HARBOURSIDE', 'StreetName'),
 ('DR', 'StreetNamePostType'),
 ('BLD', 'OccupancyType'),  # a type
 ('1', 'OccupancyIdentifier'),  # an identifier
 ('#', 'OccupancyIdentifier'),  # an identifier
 ('1001', 'OccupancyIdentifier'),  # an identifier
 ('LONGBOAT', 'PlaceName'),
 ('KEY,', 'PlaceName'),
 ('FL,', 'StateName'),
 ('34228', 'ZipCode')
# error would NOT be raised

---

So two questions based on this. Is it possible for the formatting of your addresses to be edited or is this set in stone? And would Occupancy tags like this work for you, or are we hoping for Subaddress?

[arikivandeput]

The formatting of the addresses come from official county clerk sources so they are set in stone

As mentioned earlier for me most important is the parser doesn’t throw errors and secondly it parsers correctly the tag names are not relevant
