Nominatim and fake postcode nodes

0

How do I get rid the http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=98286334 ? This node introduces postal code 12 on all underlying streets. I've tried using is_in, postal_code tags on the administrative boundaries and on associatedStreet relation to no avail.

On house level it seems to work, but this is not what I want. I want to be able to search for "Steenweg op Waarloos" and see post code 2840 on all segments.

These fake postcodes have been created during initial database import and are completely static at the moment. You can override them on street or house level but completely removing needs to be done by hand in the Nominatim database. I've deleted that number 12 now as it is quite obviously bogus.
