Regarding addressing and using it for Dispatch and Emergency services, accuracy is the most important part of GIS address and street centerline files. From there you can flag errors and look for ways to resolve addressing errors such as address numbers on the wrong side of the street, suite numbers out of order, or streets with two different names one for each side of the street.  There are going to be errors in your address and street data and some may not be able to be resolved until the occupant moves out.  It is just a part of addressing.  People will complain if you try and fix their address.  Sometimes with proof that the address is a public safety hazard you can push through the address change but be prepared for some pushback.
