I believe this was an import done in 2009. Here is an example changeset
that is obviously an address import in the area:

The import is documented on the import catalog page[1] on the wiki and
mentioned on the California imports page[2] as well. It isn't a recent
rogue import so please don't send angry messages. This was done before the
first TIGER name expansion bot was run (in 2010) so I'm not really sure if
the "no abbreviations" consensus had been solidified at that point.

But yeah, it should be fixed and it will take a bot to do so.
