Like many English words of French origin, address may be accented on the first or the second syllable depending on the meaning. When it means "the written destination on a deliverable item," or " the place where a person or an organization may be reached" it is pronounced AD-dress. As a verb, or when meaning a formal speech, it is pronounced ad-DRESS.
