There's no way to query an address in brooklyn on Google maps

To be clear, whats happening here is that 55 Water St, Brooklyn, NY 11201 will always produce a pin for 55 Water St New York, NY 10004. Notably, 55 Water Street, The Empire Stores, Brooklyn, NY 11201 (which is a very strange way to format an address including the name of a store) will result in the correct location. Basically every dependent service is affected by this including Lyft, Seamless, and Uber.

Interesting as well is that there's no clear way to submit a bug report to google when the search results are wrong because its not technically an issue with the map data.

Having worked there, I confirm it's a pain, since this issue is pervasive to any service using those. People often have to mid-direct their deliveries, cars, etc to nearby addresses (54, across the street, works fine)

Whoa, yeah, I tried "55 water st, brooklyn,ny" in maps.google.com and it dropped the pin in Manhattan (the gigantic office 55 Water building that houses DTCC.)
