Placement of time..?

Question

She instructed me to sign an agreement stating that I, John Y., must take both clients to Liberty Boulevard 54-14, Amsterdam to meet with the seller until August 22, 2014, 18.00.

Is placement of "until August 22, 2014, 18.00" correct? It should mean that I must take the clients to the seller before August 22, 2014, 18.00.

Thanks!

Hi, is it really correct to place name of street, boulevand, or avenue prior to the house or apartment number? I thought it was reverse, or maybe both options are correct? Thanks.

Both are in use worldwide. One must follow the custom (which I suppose I was doing above) and make it as easy as possible for the postal workers.

Ok, thank you, didn't know that! Always when translating Russian addresses into English, I place house number first followed by the street name.
