Typical apartment site, five buildings. None have numbers.?ÿ Paralegal wants me to assign building numbers and show them on my ALTA survey. My feeling is my job is to show what is there, not what could or should be there.
What say you? Make up building numbers, or not?

Table A, Item 20. Building numbers shown have been assigned by the surveyor for convenient reference by parties during negotiations.?ÿ No such numbering system is evident on the ground.?ÿ?ÿ
Excellent suggestion.
Don't believe you need to make them up. The buildings might not have posted numbers but I'm fairly certain that the local government emergency services would have a designation for each building in the event they needed to send an ambulance or firetruck. If someone was having a heart attack, EMS would want to know which building to go to when seconds count.

How about building numbers have been assigned by the paralegal...
Many years ago my apartment was D-8.?ÿ Unit number 8 in building D.?ÿ One floor above me was D-12.
This is the sort of picky-a$$ issue that paper pushers dream up for no particularly good reason.?ÿ Instead of numbers, I would have assigned them names, for the heck of it.?ÿ Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Gummo and Zeppo.?ÿ That would be just as useful as any arbitrary number.?ÿ 857, 913, 1024, 212 and 399.
We used to stay in a hotel that was typical 2 story motel style.
Tell wife room 410. You??re on the 4th floor? No I??m on the ground floor.
the other building was 201, 202 etc. not sure what happened to buildings 1 and 3.
Gawd, could I have fun numbering those buildings!
You can bet there would be integrals, square roots, quadratics, series, and "Building No. 6"
I had a happy solution for everyone, including me: The buildings are not numbered. The building labels shown (Building A) are arbitrary and for identification purposes only.?ÿ
Ta da!
The US Post Office may want a say in this.
True.
When I was GISing, the building addresses were created in a standardized process. The county usually is the controlling entity due to assessor and taxes?ÿ and some cities duplicate and even try to authorize them in their own methods too.
This keeps people from randomly creating their own?ÿ like for "Numerology" practitioners, gamblers, and just regular weirdo conspiracy theorists.
That reference to table a is a great tool for exactly that reason, those numbers or letters aren't addresses, just another tool to identify each individual structure for reference.
