Record the currently known number and street address of the patient's usual residence. Do not use PO Box for this data item  unless no street address information is available. Review EMR extensively for street address. Leave a blank between numbers and words if space permits. Punctuation should be limited to slashes for fractional addresses (i.e., 103 1/2 MAIN ST) and hyphens (289-01 MONTGOMERY AVE).  Use of the pound sign (#) to designate address units should be avoided whenever possible.  The preferred notation is as follows:  102 MAIN ST APT 408.  Do not use periods after abbreviations. When entering addresses, the USPS Postal Addressing Standards, Publication 28, November 2022, can be found on the Internet at http://pe.usps.gov/cpim/ftp/pubs/pub28/pub28.pdf
