• Rule 3 - Building name only

    Check format of Building Name (see note (a) above). If the Exception Rule applies, the Building Name should appear at the beginning of the first Thoroughfare line, or the first Locality line if there is no Thoroughfare information.

    When a building has a name AND a number range, both must be held in the Building Name field because the Building Number field can only hold numeric characters.

    If an address has a building name with text followed by a space and then completed by numerics/numeric ranges with the numeric part an exception (see Note (a) above), the numerics/numeric range are treated as a building number, and the text part is treated as the Building Name and the numerics/numeric range are split off to appear at the beginning of the first Thoroughfare line, or the first Locality line if there is no Thoroughfare.
