How to Report Address Errors for Google Maps
Google Maps includes a problem reporting function that lets users inform Google of problems with the information on Google Maps. Users can report incorrect addresses as well as missing businesses, renamed streets, better driving directions and other information. Each problem report is examined by Google and confirmed using Street View images, data providers or other users. Google will send you an email when your address error report has been resolved, unless you disable the email feature.
