The tag building:levels=0 indicates that a building or building part has no levels above ground. The feature should have building:levels:underground=* with corresponding values.

Most features appear to use this differently (April 2026: only 3.5% have also the key "building:levels:underground").

Possible tagging errors

To indicate a feature is on the first above ground floor of a building, use tag level=0.
