Sorry, but this
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/523414373#map=19/27.76977/-82.70015>
building
is definitely not 12 meters tall if you compare it to Mapillary
<https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=27.770955233862182&lng=-82.69659542457475&z=12.351925459224056&mapStyle=mapbox_streets&pKey=UHRsNCiHGjlaATnP9hg9HQ&focus=photo&x=0.4720420384862768&y=0.5438714582597994&zoom=0.30927835051546393>,
so the height can't be in meters.
