I'm experiencing a bug with Google Address Verification where it strips out the entire first line. In on example today, the original address was something like 764 Cambridge, Charlottesville, VA 12345. When I submitted it for verification in that format, it stripped the first line. Next, I tried 764 Cambridge St, Charlottesville VA 12345. In that case, it corrected St to Ave and left the rest of the line alone.
@Robin Gardiner and I seem to be having related issues. From her earlier post, "I seem to be having a similar issue where the entire street address(number and street name) gets stripped, regardless of whether there is an apartment number attached (of course I am ensuring that a comma is present before the apt number)--I'm seeing a trend that it happens when there is a "NW" or "SE" in the street address (a la Washington, DC or Seattle, WA addresses, but to be fair we are based in DC so we have A LOT of these) but it's not a hard and fast rule--I just literally can't find any other similarities among the ones it's messing up."

I've been having issues with Google Geocoding API, also. Everything I submit - even addresses previously verified by SmartyStreets and addresses that are outrageously wrong "Avenuesty" instead of "St" - is coming back flagged as ambiguous. I found another thread that suggested unchecking the "reject ambiguous addresses" checkbox, and doing that stripped in one case the entire street and in the other one I tested all but ", Apt 108".
I turned that sucker right back on.
