Download the Job Aid for Configuring Buildings and Units. Find the example that best fits your building. Generally speaking, if there is a separate outside entrance for each unit, then it is a Row/Townhouse (3 or more units) or semi-detached (2 units). If it has units with inside entrances, then it is either a multi-family/walkup (no elevator) or elevator structure. A non-dwelling structure type contains no dwelling units and is used for activities such as (but not limited to) office space, storage, maintenance facilities, garages, community centers and meeting rooms. Enter the building type and click "Save" (lower right corner). You may have to scroll down and to the right to see the "Save" button.
