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
