There isn't a good solution for this at the moment. It's a pain for
high density areas like NYC where most buildings are multi-use.

It might make sense to have a multiuse tag for these situations

And there are some buildings where part of the ground floor is
residential, while other parts are commercial, such as the
neighborhood where I live.

The basement and ground floor of parts of the building are commercial,
while other parts are residential, and then the high part is
residential.

That's what I do.
