The number of organizations that accept the address, but chop off the apartment number when they send mail because it is too long is ridiculous. Even better, it tends to be government departments. For example, the IRS does this.
Martin Luther King Jr Way has to be one of the most common street names in the US. Many orgs can't even get the simple cases right; I don't hold out much hope for the obscure cases.

Pro-tip: no one will ever, ever misdeliver a package addressed to {house#} MLK #{Apt#}. I've lived on an MLK. If you live on Lakeshore Drive in Chicago, LSD works just as well. Where MLK is concerned, he has an official holiday, Americans know what those three letters mean.
My street address is
XXXX Martin Luther King Jr Way, Apt XXX
