I don’t know the details of this app, but if it’s specifically US streets and notes on households there, then GDPR does not apply, as they’re not mapping EU households. GDPR is only invoked if the personal information of Europeans is at risk.

The California Consumer Protection Act would cover this for California Residents.

I doubt GDPR can reach this in any way as it’s foreigners’ data collected and stored in a foreign country.
I’m not sure if it’s directly EU-level, but unauthorized identity registries collected without consent are very illegal here; a certain religious organisation already got into trouble for keeping track of households that might want to talk about jesus. If this app is legal in US, the law really needs to be changed.
