I used to work in the telecom field. We often did lateral additions to the building. Many times different entrances would have different addresses. Because the buildings were different heights it is difficult to determine where one building ended and another started. For example the CenturyLink building (which is a block long) at http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/44.97785/-93.26680 is multiple buildings, yet shown as one.
Where possible buildings should be shown as individual buildings, but sometimes we just don't have the information available. Off topic, but the antennas on top of the CenturyLink building were mostly for looks. Only a few were actually used. I wonder if they even use any of them any more. I'll have to see if I can find anyone that still works there.
