there is man_made=courtyard
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aman_made%3Dcourtyard
for multilevel buildings, it depends on the level of detail and aspects you
are interested in.

Things on different levels (POIs) can get a level=* tag (not to be confused
with layer) https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:level

if you want to map the amount of levels, it is building:levels=n (plus
underground levels and roof levels, which have their own tags).

It is even long standing, documented practice to map non existing levels,
voids, empty space, with the tag "building:min_level" (you get the value by
counting levels that do not exist), but these are borderline ;-)

Cheers,
Martin
