There can be multiple things/POIs with the same address (particularly if you do not consider unit or door numbers). The POIs can be nodes or areas. Additionally, we map the housenumber (in our case nodes) where they apply to (gates or entrance=* or barrier=entrance). For completeness: Some Italian mappers prefer to add the POI on the entrance, or do not add addresses to POIs, so that the address is used only once, others prefer to add addressing to all POIs. > I'd also say that, in an example that appeared here earlier, where several > properties > can be accessed by any of several gates, the correct way to handle it > would not be > to put addresses on gates but by footpaths or pedestrian areas or similar > and apply > the addresses to the buildings. > I disagree here. Here's a quarter with houses inside walled gardens (with openings, i.e. still semi-public space, slowly transitioning to closed gates and gentrification though) https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Garbatella_01646.JPG https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Garbatella2018camminandoconVisureAcatastali_24.jpg Map is still not complete, but while some houses do have housenumbers, others only have entrances with letters (those with internal access) and housenumbers on the gates that lead into the block. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/365208412#map=18/41.86367/12.48903 > > As I understand it, in some countries the emergency services use OSM. > Knowing > the building they can figure out which gate to use.

In exceptional cases like the above cited Garbatella, you will need additionally a door in order to find the right building inside the block Cheers Martin
