That's a lot of mis-tagged objects. I would recommend first contacting the original mapper to see if they want to correct the error. If that doesn't work you could do the work using JOSM or write a automated edit script. The guidelines for automated scripts can be found on the wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_edits with the code of conduct for automated edits at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct
Using JOSM should be fairly easy, although not quick with almost 8,000 buildings.
