Description

I am conducting an urban structural analysis of Tehran, Iran, and noticed thick patches of geometric data gaps (empty data artifact) in the building footprints dataset.

Location: Greater Tehran, Iran
The Issue: There is a clean, rectangular patch where no building footprints are extracted, surrounded by residential footprint vectors. In addition, there are multiple small no-data patches inside the city.
I have attached multiple spatial plots demonstrating the exact problem. It would be great if you could check this issue and fix it in future releases and updates.

Thank you!
