Suffers from all the usual problems. Try e.g.

123 1/2 Green Onion, Some City, CA

1/2 is treated as a number suffix (wrong, part of the number), Onion is treated as StreetPost, e.g. a classifier similar to Blvd. or Street.

Miss a comma, and the parser will be completely confused.

So, yay, now my address is going to be probabilistically wrong ;)

It seems to be working a little differently now. (I was going to say "better" but that's debatable.) 1/2 is still in the number suffix, but now "Green Onion, Some City" is the place name, and it doesn't try to parse it further.
