While you can tag any building with a simple building=yes, it can be nice to classify them. If you have objections to any single image, do state them here.

Image Primary tags Extra tags Comments
building=utility

power=sub_station

building:levels=1

building:roof:shape=flat

building=house building:levels=2

building:use=residential

In front, a small power=cable_distribution_cabinet
building=terrace building:levels=3

building:use=residential

I tagged each unit as a separate way, with overlapping segments.
building=apartments building:levels=3

building:use=residential

The block (which has two buildings) is tagged with landuse=residential and with the name of the complex.
building=apartments building:levels=6

building:use=residential

Some have used building=block
building=office building:use=commercial Some have used building=block
building=gazebo Recommended tags: amenity=shelter and building=roof

If it's an enclosed picnic area you can include shelter_type=picnic_shelter

building=public I'm not sure if this is a good use of "public"; you can't just enter unless there is an event that is open to the public.
I don't know how to tag a theater or a resaurant properly. Suggestions are welcome.
