Eric,

A 911 address is required by CPUC rules for any circuit delivered by
the LEC.  This is not necessarily a street address that the USPS would
use, and you are not required to use it yourself.  I suggest you
contact the agency that operates the PSAP for that property and ask
for their assistance.  At a minimum, they can get you an
MSAG-qualified address for Verizon.

If you need any assistance, please sent me a message off list.

Sincerely,
Trevor Hammonds
