4 storied bldg - midrise?

[Fernando]

I know it's a minior issue. Would you call a 4 storied condo building a Garden style or Midrise style?
What floor would you consider midrise?

Per UAD. 4-7 stories is considered midrise

Good. First time I have heard that definition.
I suppose I could RTFM more.
Now let me see if I can remember it next time I need that fact.

I think using the number of floors to determine what type of building it is is kinda stupid.

When perfoming an appraisal using UAD Standardization it is not "your call."

Design (Style) (for Condominiums)

The appraiser should provide the attachment type, the number of levels and the architectural design for the subject property and each comparable property.
Reporting Format:

Attachment Types – The appraiser should select one value from the specified list below:

Abbreviated Entry - Attachment Type
DT - Detached Structure, does not share any communal walls, floor, or ceiling with another property
RT - Row or Townhouse - One in a row of identical houses or having a common wall; attached to another unit via common wall
GR - Garden - Structure is 1-3 stories tall, contains units with communal walls, floors, and/or ceilings
MR - Mid-Rise - Structure is 4-7 stories tall, contains units with communal walls, floors, and/or ceilings
HR - High Rise -Structure is 8+ stories tall, contains units with communal walls, floors, and/or ceilings
O - Other

Number of Levels – The appraiser should indicate the attachment type of the property followed by the number of levels within the condominium unit. The number of levels should be displayed
in whole numbers.

Description of Style - The appraiser should enter a brief description of the style of the property. The PDF creator should populate the selected text from the specified list for ‘Attachment Type’, followed by the ‘Number of Levels’, and the ‘Description of Style’. A semicolon should be used to separate the number of levels from the Description of the style. Note that no semicolon should be used between the Attachment Type and the Number of Levels.

Examples:
DT1L;SitecondoRamb
RT3L;Twnhse
GR1L;Garden
MR1L;Midrise
HR2L;Penthouse

It's absurd.

And how would you distinguish, in a uniform manner, a mid rise from a high rise ?

I don't see the big deal. If the subject is in a 3 stories tall building and all the comps are in 4 story buildings you can just explain it.

If it's just based on number of floors then just ask how many floors and then call it whatever you want it in your database.
