It's certainly not illegal in the US. Heck, Google Street View has images of most addresses online.

EDIT: Well, okay. There are forms in which it could be illegal, like if someone was, oh, trying to convince someone to kill a person and provided the images as part of that, where the act of trying to get someone to do so might be incitement or conspiracy or something. But it's not ordinarily illegal in-and-of-itself to post it.
