Tools for this tag

Indicates that there is possibly/likely a building there, but aerial/satellite imagery is not clear enough - it could be something else (like parking lot, or ruins or just a foundations, or something entirely different which just looks like possible building). Better imagery or on-site survey is required to ascertain the situation and tag it better.

Alternatively it has been tagged as e.g. building=yes + fixme=verify if it is really a building

Was initially mostly used in Croatia for earthquake relief efforts to indicate possible dwellings.
