How to deal with a false adress in Nominatim?

Help and support
1

Hello,

If I make a search on open street map for ‘19A RUE DU MARECHAL JOFFRE, SAVERNE’ the adress shown is not in the city of SAVERNE, but it shows ‘HOCHFELDEN’ :

Maison 19 a, Rue du Maréchal Joffre, Hochfelden, Saverne, Bas-Rhin, Grand Est, France métropolitaine, 67270, France

Same in Nominatim :

https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=json&q=19A+Rue+du+Maréchal+Joffre%2C+67700+SAVERNE%2C+FRANCE

[{“place_id”:110326053,“licence”:“Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. http://osm.org/copyright",“osm_type”:“node”,“osm_id”:1480079462,“lat”:“48.7556210”,“lon”:“7.5679030”,“class”:“place”,“type”:“house”,“place_rank”:30,“importance”:6.385061417558583e-05,“addresstype”:“place”,“name”:“”,“display_name”:"19 a, Rue du Maréchal Joffre, Hochfelden, Saverne, Bas-Rhin, Grand Est, France métropolitaine, 67270, France”,“boundingbox”:[“48.7555710”,“48.7556710”,“7.5678530”,“7.5679530”]}]

How can we fix this ?

osm.org search is using Nominatim

is expected address actually mapped?

No it is not. There is only a housenumber 19.

It’s somewhat related to the long-standing issue that missing housenumbers in combination with frequent street names can give surprising result. It’s tricky to fix.

then mapping it may be a good first step

though I know at least of one Nominatim bug/missing feature that seems likely to happen here
