New description:

 -- this works
 {{{
 SELECT * FROM normalize_address('529 Main Street, Apt 201, Boston, MA
 02129');

  address | predirabbrev | streetname | streettypeabbrev | postdirabbrev |
 internal | location | stateabbrev |  zip  | parsed
 ---------+--------------+------------+------------------+---------------+----------+----------+-------------+-------+--------
      529 |              | Main       | St               |               |
 Apt 201  | Boston   | MA          | 02129 | t
 }}}

 But this has Suite bleed into postdirabbrev because it starts with S


 {{{

 SELECT * FROM normalize_address('529 Main Street, Suite 201, Boston, MA
 02129');
  address | predirabbrev | streetname | streettypeabbrev | postdirabbrev |
 internal  | location | stateabbrev |  zip  | parsed
 ---------+--------------+------------+------------------+---------------+-----------+----------+-------------+-------+--------
      529 |              | Main       | St               | S             |
 Suite 201 | Boston   | MA          | 02129 | t
 }}}
