<div dir="ltr">Are there any buildings that have more than one addr:street in addresses for that building? Or addr:unit numbers for different addr:housenumbers? This happened for the Indianapolis data set. Delimiting works great until you have to delimit more than one field. Maybe this doesn't happen in practice in your area.<div><br></div><div>However, it's also nice to have addresses on nodes for buildings with sizable footprints because you can then get the node closer to where the address goes (ex: strip mall). I don't know how your dataset handles that. The Indy dataset had addresses more or less where each tenant would be located.<div><br></div><div>Matt</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 9, 2023 at 6:22 PM Tyler Brown Cifu Shuster <<a href="mailto:t@fust.us">t@fust.us</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Buildings with multiple addresses use semicolons to separate their addresses in the field, like any field with multiple values. <br>

Specifically, I am seeking to import the columns Address, Latitude, and Longitude. This is because not all San Francisco addresses are in OpenStreetMap, leading to unsuccessful matches when trying to retrieve missing addresses.<br>
