There are many and I have tools that can pick them out in a particular area. However to use them I inspect the building visually before deleting one or the other. Sometimes if the mapper has less than ten edits to their name I may even skip adding a change set comment first.
However I do see many cases where the building or way appears to have been uploaded twice and these I think could be handled by a bot which would save my time and zap a substantial number. I don't think anyone could object to such an automated course of action whereas those that overlap really need visual inspection to see which should be deleted.
