Use addr:flats=* for marking the range of numbers of flats in a building or behind a door, for example, addr:flats=97-117. If there is gap in numeration, mark numbers and intervals with semicolon: addr:flats=3-7;10;14;16-18.
If there is only one flat, the tag addr:unit=* is normally used in USA instead.
A leading semicolon can be used when a flat number is implicit. For example a house at '10 Some Street' converted into 3 flats with postal addresses of '10 Some Street', 'Flat 1, 10 Some Street' and 'Flat 2, 10 Some Street' can be tagged addr:flats=;1-2 and addr:housenumber=10.
How to map
Where there are multiple entrances to the building and each entrance leads to a different set of flats, then tag the respective addr:flats=* on each entrance.
Where the building only has one entrance or there are multiple entrances but each entrance is not marked for a specific set of flats, then you can either tag addr:flats=* on the main entrance=* node, or on the building=* way.
You should only place addr:flats=* on multiple entrance=* nodes where the value of addr:flats=* is not the same on each entrance=*.
