The issue is not emanating from Waze but from Google Maps. Waze only has one location for Creatively WILD Art Studio in Dumbo in Brooklyn(the correct location). Google maps has the correct one at 98 Water St in Brooklyn, and an incorrect one at 98 Water St in Manhattan. Waze does use Google maps as a backup search source for place addresses which is why the result does show up in Waze, and I have requested that Google Maps remove the wrong location in Manhattan.

However whether and what Google Maps does with this request is often beyond the control of Waze editors.

I just received confirmation that Google Maps has removed the incorrect listing in Downtown Manhattan! We should be good now.
