Description

The absence of an apostrophe in a street name makes the Geocoder see the remaining street name as locality garbage.
A ballpark estimate for HLTH addresses, scoring below 90 falling in this scenario is 500 – 1500.

**Example 1:**
addressString: 202 6 1483 LAMEY S MILL R, VANCOUVER, BC
Geocodes to: 202 Sixth Ave, New Westminster, BC
Score: 90
Faults: [LOCALITY_GARBAGE.notAllowed:3, LOCALITY.isAlias:1, STREET_TYPE.missing:6]

**Example 2:**
addressString: BROADWAY LODGE 1377 LAMEY S MILL RD, VANCOUVER, BC
Geocodes to: 1377 Lamey's Mill Rd, Vancouver, BC
Score: 79
Faults: [INITIAL_GARBAGE.notAllowed:3, LOCALITY_GARBAGE.notAllowed:3, STREET_NAME.spelledWrong:2, STREET_TYPE.missing:6, STREET_NAME.partialMatch:1, FAULTS.tooMany:6]

**Example 3:**
addressString: 811 1483 LAMEY S MILL RD, VANCOUVER, BC
Geocodes to: UNIT 811 -- 1483 Lamey's Mill Rd, Vancouver, BC
Score: 81
Faults: [LOCALITY_GARBAGE.notAllowed:3, UNIT_DESIGNATOR.missing:0, UNIT_NUMBER.notMatched:1, STREET_NAME.spelledWrong:2, STREET_TYPE.missing:6, STREET_NAME.partialMatch:1, FAULTS.tooMany:6]

**Example 4:**
addressString: 412 SMUGGLER S COVE RD, BOWEN ISLAND, BC
Geocodes to: 412 Smuggler's Cove Rd, Bowen Island, BC
