Comment:

 All houses get assigned some address. If the house has an addr:street and
 cannot find a street with the same name it simply assumes a typo and goes
 for the fall back, which is the closest street. So, Nominatim just tries
 to be helpful. If the address really does not exist, it's unlikely that
 somebody searches for it anyway, so no need to filter anything.
