Coloured Streets adress on way without building-tag

[rza31]

This way ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/309421880
is without building-tag.

The adress is not visible on the map.
At the moment you don't see in JOSM the missing building=yes by coloured streets style.

My suggestion create a different colour like "highway without name" by missing building on way with adress.

For external styles, rules, plugins and presets you are better of by contacting the author(s). Have a look at the style's wiki page wiki page.

This is the intended behavior. A closed way with an address doesn't need to be a building. You can't for sure know if the bulding tag is missing or not.

Examples:

• ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/53529007 (see the note tag)
• ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/215427290

I created an overpass query to find missing building keys, but it still creates false positives: ​http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/iA7

​https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/174998828 - bulding missing
​https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/186961964 - building not missing

however both have basically the same tags

Replying to Klumbumbus:

We could implemet this as validator test, however only at info level due to the false positives.

The overpass query for false positive validation is a good idea.

Your examples:

• ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/53529007 there is the tag demolished:building in use ​/taginfo.
• ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/215427290 on the german wikipage for ​/DE:Tag:amenity=school the address is placed to the building ​example. At the moment there is difference by mapping addresses to the ​/english page.

Look in JOSM to the NRW-Alkis- or MAPS4BW-layer the addresses are always placed to the building.

For sites with several buildings it makes sense to put the address on the property outline. See e.g. ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/164779980. It doesn't make sense to put the same address to all the single buildings within the site. Also it doesn't make sense to put the address to only one of the buildings.

Also (atleast in germany) the address belongs to the property not to the building. And properties without a building can have an address. (see ​https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausnummer#Deutschland_2 „Der Eigentümer hat sein Grundstück mit der von der Gemeinde festgesetzten Nummer zu versehen.“) Since we usually don't map properties in osm it makes sense in most cases to put the address on the building.

In 11080/josm:

see #13705 - add warning about possibly missing building tag (info level)

[Klumbumbus]

It's part of the validator now. For Coloured Streets I don't see a good solution for this as the style focuses only on addresses and not on other tags.

Beside the false positives it is also not always the building tag which is missing but e.g. landuse=farmyard like in this example: ​https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/39043341 (version 6)
