Explanation

'Above' functions as an adjective modifying 'address'. It means 'aforementioned' or 'previously mentioned'. Adjectives modify nouns, and here 'above' describes 'address' telling us which address (the one mentioned before). This is a post-nominal adjective (comes after 'the'). It cannot be an adverb (adverbs don't modify nouns directly) or preposition (no object shown).
