I just would not assume that an address is numerical.

There are house numbers in Germany like 25a, 25b, 25c, ...  or even 14 ½. 
They just are what they are.  This happens when a lot is divided up.
And we don't have 5-digit house numbers.  Typically they are consecutive
with even numbers on one side and odd numbers on the other.  The above
are the alway present exceptions to the rule.  And of course there are
other numbering schemes.
