This is more often due to split of landuse ownership. There is no differences
between this lines and the one separating adajacent buildings

No this is not sufficiant I think because some times you have adjacent
buildings that are not a single building. You also have cases when line
separate building parts which have different number of levels or which are
"light buildings" ( without wall by example )

Please also notice that this is sometime not easy to distinguish on aerial
imagery if the split line really exist or not.
