I am not sure for buildings, but for addresses I use this all the time, because these are common addresses around here. There are some issues with this, for example if the address is 35-39 you cannot tell for sure whether this means 35;37;39 or 35;36;37;38;39
On the other hand I don’t care ;-)
It’s their address, and I might also map the individual numbers and their positions additionally, so it might eventually become more clear to someone looking at the situation.
Sometimes when the business uses 37/39 I will admittedly convert this to 37;39 for clarity.
Cheers Martin
