Hey guys, I know this question is probably answered somewhere on the internet but I just can’t seem to find it.

In OSM, I have an address, and on that block of land I have many separate small houses, each with the same house number, but different unit/flat numbers. I could assign housenumber 123 to each but from what I understand, duplicating information is bad.

Is it a good idea to instead omit this information from each house, and draw an area around the entire block with addr tags on that specifying housenumber, suburb, street etc. and each actual house only has unit number and building type?

Thanks guys

    Thanks for the reply! Regarding the letterbox,qt least a few of them had theirs in one of those walls with like 9 letterboxes in it so I’ll have to check again, but I’ll remember to add these from now on
