The NYC addresses are working well. I have a minor correction as follows:

One always says ‘The Bronx’, but in addresses is it’s simply Bronx. For Queens, the neighborhood is used in mailing addresses, though sometimes people will use ‘Queens’ instead. If you look up "40-01 43 AVENUE” www.usps.com, it says the standardized address is:

4001 43RD AVE
SUNNYSIDE NY 11104-3205

But, the school board lists it’s address as:

40-01 43 AVENUE
QUEENS, NY11104

While the school itself says it’s address is:

40-01 43 Avenue  Sunnyside, NY 11104

If I’m given an address, most likely it will have the neighborhood in it, and not ‘Queens’. 

Here’s an alternative patch to pick up place_name:
