I haven't come across this problem myself but a first guess as to how to solve it would be: addr:housenumber=234-236 addr:flatnumber=1-18 i.e. we will assume that 'housenumber' means the number associated with the street, while 'flatnumber' is a different sub-numbering. In your first example I would probably go with something like: addr:housename=Honor Oak Mansions addr:flatnumber=1-12 and have no addr:housenumber since it has no Underhill Road address number You can still add it to the associatedStreet relation for Underhill Road. I don't claim that this is the cleanest solution but it's the easiest to use and understand.
