Chinese translation:第52大街东段55号

Explanation:
同意Jim意见，这些地址不用翻译，因为翻成中文的外国地址一点用途都没有。
但如果非要翻译，建议用“东段”来表示East。也许第52大街很长，所以通常以某点(交叉口)为界分成东西两段，方便人们的查找。

五十二大街東五十五號 (UTF-8 encoded)

Explanation:
The word "East" refers to the east side of 52nd Street, and does not really form a part of the street name. Thus, is it not better to place the word 東 after 大街, rather than before?

A location on the same street with the same number, but on the west side could then be written 五十二大街西五十五號.

To the best of my knowledge, all streets in New York run perpendicular to avenues, and one avenue forms the dividing line between the east and west sides of all streets. As it has been some time since I was last in New York, I do not remember which avenue is the dividing line.

By the way, the more appropriate way to write your Wanchai address is probably:

Central Plaza 61/F
18 Harbour Road
Wanchai, Hong Kong SAR

This is Hong Kong convention. 61/F means 61st Floor
