Thanks for your reply. It may not be "necessary", but it is what I
desire (in order to name each building), and I'm asking if there's a
tagging scheme to do this that makes sense.

I'm also, in a more general sense, raising a question about the
established conventions and whether it makes sense to be tagging the
individual units as "buildings", when they are not really buildings in
and of themselves, but sections of one larger building that contains
several other units.
