Indeed. The address of the old office was kept

publicly available. To give him the benefit of the tiniest bit of
doubt, he might have written it while the WMF was in the old office
and just taken a long time to submit it to the court and not
thought to check it was still true. There has been a phone number
available for years, though.
Might I also offer that "kept quiet" does
not negate "offered up to
anyone who phoned up and asked for it." In reality, it was simply not
publicized; but it was generally fairly easy to get.
Indeed, that's why I said "quiet" rather than "private" or
"secret".
...And there was always a legal service address for DMCA takedown
notices, through which agents can serve even if the organization
itself is not available. And a published phone number.
However, from:

...This guy filed the complaint at a time (Feb 28, 2010) after the
last update to the WMF "Contact us" page was made (Nov 3, 2009), and
the page contained the street address for the office.
