Unit 1-2
I typically translate the 之 using a hyphen, with the understanding that it is a unit of sorts (a shorthand for "No.2, Unit 1" or "Unit 1, No.2). I don't think you'd be off the mark with "No.1-2" either.

Discussion
Taiwan's address is divided into 巷, 弄 and 號. "1之2號" here should refer to "No. 1-2" instead of "unit".
