Introducing San Francisco’s Enterprise Addressing System
Farallon Geographics has developed and deployed an authoritative, centralized database of building addresses for use throughout City government. This Enterprise Addressing system or “Master Address Database” (MAD) will help the city manage its master database of addresses, tied to the Assessor’s parcels and the City’s street centerline network. It will reduce errors and prevent duplicative effort by enabling all City departments to access address data from a single location. Civic Common is working with the City of San Francisco and Farallon to open source the code and partner with other cities to improve it.
