But not necessarily incorrect. I've mapped several addresses of zero, 
confirmed by multiple sources (town assessor's data, USPS ZIP code by 
address web page, view of the house number itself).

For example: 0 Carmen Avenue, Stoneham, MA 02180 (42.482943, 
-71.077575), a house put up (probably after a property division) 
forty-odd years after addresses 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. Rather than renumber 
everyone, they were assigned address zero.
