Writing down the wrong address has no bearing whatsoever on the ticket or your liability, unless you contend (and can prove) that you are not the person the officer stopped, and they sent a ticket or summons to the wrong person due to the incorrect address being written down. Otherwise, if this was you, then the wrong address is a "harmless error" that does not effect the ticket.
