calea != ARIN policies... the above comment is a red-herring/fud.

reading the policies (roughly paraphrased) I'd say you need to
(depending where you line up with william's questions)
  A swip the block the building uses (postal address probably fine) -
presumes +/29 to a building, of course
  B swip as 'residential' anything larger than a /29 that lands at a
single dwelling being used for residential things
  C swip as a normal record anything larger than a /29 that lands at a
single dwelling but considered a 'business'

as examples of these:
A - 1515 Connecticut Ave, Washington DC - The Regency Towers
Apartments (fictitious apartment building)
B - Private customer - Verizon Internet Services Inc. FTTP  (Joe
Plumber Apartment #5 inside The Regency Towers Apartments)
C - Joes Plumbing and Handyman services - Apt #5 1515 Connecticut Ave
(the business address at that apartment location)
