As of the January 2026 release, there are 98,048 buildings that are MultiPolygons. I am not clear what the solution to this should be, as Alex Iannicelli has already stated, splitting non-contiguous buildings into separate GERS would break the bridge file logic.

Here is an example image of a MutliPolygon GERS: e1b484fb-4ac8-4c68-b741-fcc019942571
