The easiest thing to do for such cases is to add a note, perhaps with a picture of the building if you're comfortable.

There must be folk who dedicate their time to searching the OSM database for unresolved notes, because whenever I leave a note on StreetComplete mentioning an inaccuracy (e.g: a path where there isn't actually one, a driveway marked incorrectly as a road, etc.) I get an email alert a few days later notifying me that the note has been resolved - often by someone who lives in an entirely different country (and who can use the information I provide in the note plus the satellite imagery to resolve the note).

I am one of such people (I do this partially to catch problems in StreetComplete design).

So thanks for leaving notes allowing remote fixing!

Amazing, thanks for your efforts! I've just now sent a couple such notes up into the ether :)
