Not getting a correct address from Latitude & Longitude - ios

Question

I want to get the true postal address from the Latitude & Longitude, however is not working well. Maybe I am note using the right APIs or etc.
For example I have the following code
var location = CLLocation(latitude:currentLocation.coordinate.latitude, longitude: currentLocation.coordinate.longitude)
CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler: {(placemarks, error) -> Void in
print(location)
if error != nil {
print("Reverse geocoder failed with error" + error!.localizedDescription)
return
}
if placemarks!.count > 0 {
let pm = placemarks![0] as! CLPlacemark
street = String(pm.thoroughfare!)
city = String(pm.locality!)
state = String(pm.administrativeArea!)
print(pm.locality)
print(pm.administrativeArea)
print(pm.thoroughfare)
self.utility.setMyLocation(dName, longitude: long, latitude: lat, street: street, city: city, state: state)
locManager.stopUpdatingLocation()
}
else {
print("Problem with the data received from geocoder")
}
})
However I am not getting the true address. For example let say if that long and lat address is
123 East Street
I get something like only East Street (with no number) or near by road.
What do I need to do inorder to get the real address?

Im not sure if this is what your looking for but its what i currently use to get a nice readable address. I also send these values to my Application delegate for referencing later if i need them. I don't have it written in Swift however just in Objective C. :/ But i think the key is reverseGeocodeLocation
#pragma mark - location Manager update and FUNCTIONS

NSLog(#"%s Failed with Error: %#", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, error);

appDelegate.locationDetailLon = longitude;
appDelegate.locationDetailLat = latitude;
}

[geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:currentLocation completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
// NSLog(#"Found placemarks: %#, error: %#", placemarks, error);
if (error == nil && [placemarks count] > 0) {
placemark = [placemarks lastObject];
NSString *address = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#\n%# %#\n%#\n%#",
placemark.subThoroughfare, placemark.thoroughfare,
placemark.postalCode, placemark.locality,
placemark.administrativeArea,
placemark.country];
NSLog(#"Address:\n%#", address);
// Set current values to the AppDelegate for refrencing
appDelegate.locationDetailState = placemark.administrativeArea;
appDelegate.locationDetailCountry = placemark.country;
appDelegate.locationDetailCity = placemark.locality;
appDelegate.locationDetailPostCode = placemark.postalCode;
} else {
NSLog(#"%s ERROR: %#", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, error.debugDescription);
}
} ];
