Regardless, this is not a telephony issue ("Can I take my cell
number with me?"), as the courts as seem disposed to diagnose
these days, but rather, a technical one insofar as the IP routing
table efficiency.

No, this is not about taking a phone number.  This is about a someone
moving to a new apartment in a different part of town, and asking the
court to force the owner of the old house to reassign the old street
address to him.

All the places I have ever been, the address was assigned by somebody
other than the building owner, ususally as a product of legislative
action.  A court order can not require the paramedics from New York to
respond to a call now from Juneau.
