0-addresses are very real and very much a pain in the ass. this example taken blatantly from "Fasehoods Programmers Believe About Addresses"
As much of an edge case as it is, we have no choice but to trust it as valid until proven otherwise, and even then only for that instance.
Part of me is kinda happy that they're zero indexing though.

right, but I assumed that they are very very uncommon?
I suspect that having 2x 0 West 4th Avenue
in 2x different states indicates a data issue?

They are. Upon further investigation, lots of these don't exist. Not sure if the OpenAddresses folks are even aware.
Opening a ticket on their end.

There's quite a few null entries in these datasets. In all likleyhood, it's bad outside of their control and is likely from whatever GIS system exported it in the first place. Mixed zeroes and nulls appear here

@riordan I can't find the upstream ticket for this, did we file one with them in the end?
I recently bumped into the this problem with certain Finnish data. It seems to me that OpenAddresses is pretty heavily 'street address' oriented. Data sources, which include also POI/place name data etc. list them as a fake street + zero index. So, many of the listed 'streets' do not exist at all, they are just place names. Unfortunately, the wrong index ends up into the final label, displayed to the user; imagine a search result like '0 Statue of Liberty' - not good. I am planning to implement an option to treat such names properly in the OA importer. Basically, 0 index would generate a venue, not an address, at least for defined countries.
I'm not sure if these are useful or simply a relic of the OA schema enforcing a housenumber:
