<br>
A new tag called residential, where the value specifies
the type of<br>
residential, such as:<br>

residential=apartment<br>
residential=condo<br>
residential=co-op<br>
residential=single_room_occupancy<br>
<br>
(these would be open for refinement and addition of
course).<br>

Then a user could tag the apartments with all the normal
tags one<br>
would expect- name, addr:*, phone, website, etc.</div>

Sorry for the delay in responding to everyone. Must have been

I think Serge has proposed the best solution. I also live in a
multistory building with retail and offices below. I had been
tagging them amenity=apartment, but will switch them to
residential=apartment. I build a proposal for a new tag which
I'll announce shortly. It will give a chance for a more formal
discussion. </div>

Do bear in mind that residential apartments are often called 'flats'
in British English, and there is a documented tag addr:flats to
record the number(s) of the flats within a block.<br>
