Address with address number that looks like streetname #283

This address should have been parsed as: 1940 - AddressNumber E - StreetNamePreDirectional 5625 - StreetName S - StreetNamePostDirectional

I'm guessing it's because the address number is a multiple of ten that looks like a street name?

usaddress doesn't use specific rules to parse addresses. it is trained based on real addresses it has seen. looks like if you add the city and state to the address, it parses as expected:

Is there an option to help make the two results match without using the city and state?

I guess that we could add the state (all of our addresses are within Utah): image

But I'd be curious is there is another workaround.
