Referring back to https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/3971200, these are different features. This whole location is just mapped wrong here. `allotments` is land use - how is this land used? - former non-residential dacha communities that in Latvia are mapped so (which doesn't actually match OSM allotments description, but that's another discussion).
If there's a private house that people live in, it cannot by definition be allotments. This is a residential area. Many locations in former allotments have been privatized, assigned plots and become residential. (Yes, the line is blurry, but for the sake of discussion, sticking to obvious examples.)
"Cerība" here is a named locality, formerly Soviet allotments. It was an official administrative territory, but is now officially either a village (mazciems) or not defined (I don't really know). Just like you cannot map an entire village or city as residential or something, same way you cannot long-term map a location like this as allotments. This is what boundaries are for. boundary=administrative if it's official and boundary=place or something if it's a historic locality that is still strongly associated with a particular area.
This is what you are (presumably) supposed to do when mapping such localities: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/16646743 . And the actual landuse is whatever it needs to be - allotments, residential, grasslands, unmapped, etc.
This way everyone is happy - people looking for allotments, for residentials, for locality, for edges, for comparing addresses, etc.
