The correct site address is 2430 Corning Avenue.?ÿ The plat says 2430 Corning Street.?ÿ Ignore or nasty note?
Around the Atlanta Metro area you could get in deep doodoo with the name "Peachtree" anything.?ÿ The must be, at least, a hundred Peachtrees (Road, Street, Circle, Avenue...) in the area, sometimes they intersect.

Moor or Les?
There was an episode of WKRP where some fellow was at the station who bragged about everything and said his name was (?????).?ÿ He explained that names were an indicator of future success in life.?ÿ Then he turned to Les and said, "For example, what is your name?"
Can't remember what (?????) was but it was something suggesting powerful.
It is good to hear support for sending problems back for correction, when they matter, and many really do matter.?ÿ No one enjoys being told they did not do as well as they thought they had.?ÿ Many times, by the time I see the survey the client has already received a final copy or copies.?ÿ Then the surveyor has that awkward job of notifying the client that they will be sending a corrected final.
It would be wonderful if the final in-house review would catch mistakes similar to those mentioned.?ÿ No time to do it right, but always adequate time is available to make corrections as requested by the out-house reviewer.
Out-house:?ÿ As Foghorn Leghorn would say, "That's a joke son.?ÿ Get it?"
A long time ago; in a State Far Far Away, my boss gave a client a drawing that showed his lot as being 99.90' wide. The plat showed 100', and the client was not happy; what the Heck is going on here!?!? Why did you make my lot shorter that what it is supposed to be!?
Every measurement, from then on, that was within a tenth of record, was "Record and Measured" in your notes.?ÿ

Not really what Cow is talking about; but still an issue for most surveyors. Being precise, is much more important than being exact, sometimes.
As a plat reviewer I would comment on all of those. It is my job to protect the public from errors and ambiguities that might lead to future problems. It is my personal goal to advance the profession of surveying. Most of those whose work I review are thankful for those comments which make their work look better.
@j-holt I live on Robin Court, a block away after crossing the cross street it is Robin Place. Getting it correct is important!

Part of my duties as County Surveyor is to assign house numbers to sites upon application for a building permit.?ÿ Although we are on a grid system, none of our roads are on cardinal directions (Sierra Nevada foothills).?ÿ Odd numbers are on one side, even on the other.?ÿ It becomes challenging with nothing but curved roads, and is based on 90 degree intersections.
This takes much more effort than you would think.
This is where the intersection of GIS principles and practice get into the drivers seat and split the duties of the process.
We had a few really horrible discordant addresses(odd and even on the same side, cardinal directions too...) And in severe cases, the exact same road name, not a variation on opposite sides of a 2211 sqmi county. 40 miles or so apart. That pain is real.?ÿ
Grinnell, Iowa has strange numbering in that the 700 block of addresses are between 2nd and 3rd avenues, etc.
These items are straight up mistakes.?ÿ To me, sloppiness is having a 1000 foot line with 8 pins set on it, 10 different dimensions along it and no linework indicating which dimensions are spanning which segments.?ÿ That is a garbage map and an embarrassment to the profession, imo.
