In the US that's not an exception at all.  Here it's typical for
houses on adjacent small lots to have a difference of 6 or 8 in their
housenumbers.  Even row houses, literally adjacent to each other,
could potentially have a difference of 4 or more.

Even setting that aside, I don't see how a bot or remote mapper could
make an informed decision that such a thing is "wrong" and needs to be
"fixed".  Unless you're observing the situation on the ground, there's
no way to know that there's not an unmapped series of addresses in
between.
