Sorry for the delay in responding to everyone. Must have been from all
the excitement of SOTMUS.

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.
