Zillow does indeed have a problem when the providers of maps have errors. I know when I've pointed out the errors to Zillow they've been corrected, but it does take time (several months).
A faster solution in my experience has been to go to the source of the maps (most like www.maps.bing.com and report the error.

Thanks for your reply. You would think Zillo would want to correct such errors to make them a more creditable source for real estate info. I know our bank uses it for real property appriased value. I could post my own photos, but the aerial will still show my house location as a parking lot for the Branchville Fire Department.

I believe that the street photos may come from Bing or Google. As far as I know they drive along and take street shots that are labeled with addresses based on the average number of houses on that street or in the area. That means that sometimes the photos get shifted especially if the street of curvy or if the lot sizes are not uniform. Even a double lot or two can throw them off.
It was like that for us on our last house. The photo we had was a house about 4 houses up showing at out address. I do not think Zillow can fix that since they only post the photos from another company providers. However, you may be able to upload your own from photo to make your page more accurate.

What does it take to get Zillo to post the proper picture with the right address?
