Hi and Welcome  :)

Apart from an Irish Social Security system, I'm thinking that the S.I. might be for Staten Island - so could it be Postal Region Staten Island or something like that .

I was beaten at the post on this. :)

I have an old Road Atlas of the USA and Canada, and there is a Richmond Ave at Port Richmond, near the Bridge to Bayonne at the North of the Island.
