I don't know what the typical mailing address formality is in Philadelphia. I do know that in New York, people in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx typically use their borough names as their mailing city. (In Manhattan's case, they put down "New York, NY")
But for many parts of Queens, they use their neighborhood names as their mailing city. Case in point, I put down "Fresh Meadows, NY". People in Jamaica, Flushing, and Bayside would do the same for their respective neighborhoods.
There is one exception in the Bronx to this rule, and that's for the people living in Riverdale, who think of their neighborhood as a separate town from the Bronx.
I don't know what they use in Staten Island, though.
