I'm a little wary of tagging the same housenumber on the site way and a node, as josm throws a validation warning (and a lot of my edits have been around removing validation problems ;) ). But I think I can see how this might be a valid use.<br></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div dir="ltr"><div>If there are multiple dwellings on the complex with the same housenumber, you could add the addr:housenumber to every dwelling in the lot and consider adding addr:unit or addr:flats to each as necessary.<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Oh, `addr:unit` looks like it could be a good option. Unfortunately, for a lot of these I don't have ready access to the unit numbers - at the end of the day they're on private property so I'd be inferring the majority based on what I can see from the footpath - so was planning on just mapping the street address for the lot.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,<br>-- <br>Peter<br></div></body></html>
