The water tower turned private home

Hello! 😊
We have a water tower from 1927 in the suburb of Viby, Aarhus (Denmark), that has been turned into a private home (single-family). The water tower is a live Wayspot and I know that it has been reported 'invalid - private residence' a number of times, but not surprisingly, the reports were rejected. Nobody really thinks this could be a private home, since it is quite a curious location for that. 😅
Nevertheless, it now is a private home. Please see this article for confirmation:
Google Translate is probably necessary. But also please see Google Streetview for the location, which shows the driveway for the house, the mailbox etc.
Name of the Wayspot: Vandtårnet ved Terp Skovvej/Stenhøjsvej
Location: 56.126061,10.179708
If further information or elaboration is needed, please don't hesitate to ask. 🙂 But this Wayspot is now 100% a private home and should be removed as a Wayspot, as intended in the rules and guidelines for Wayfarer.
Thank you in advance.

Another newspaper article. It is pay-locked, but the headline says it all: "Ingrid og Bent bor i et vandtårn i Viby" (Ingrid and Bent live in a water tower in Viby). The same article was printed in Horsens Folkeblad, a newspaper in the city of Horsens.
The above article is from Arkiv.dk (news archives) and shows photos of the reconstruction and transformation from water tower to gallery and private residence ("Ombygning fra vandtårn til galleri og privatbolig).
It is probably quite easy to find even more information about this case, but I think and hope it will not be necessary. 😊
Trying for an 'Up' on this... ⌛️
@NianticGiffard Could you or one of you colleagues take a look at this? Thank you! 😊

OK, I don't even care if I'm being too impatient or not, this system is horrible! 🤯
It's been over a month, so I decided to try through the Wayfarer page instead. I linked to this post. They directed me to Pokémon Go support to fill out a form as if I'm the property owner and want people to stop running around on my property. 😂 Like, Niantic - do you or do you not support single-family private homes as Wayspots? Yeah, I didn't think so.
But we don't really get that much saying with these support requests, so I did the form thing on the PoGo page. I linked to this post there also. They of course replied asking me to provide evidence that I'm the property owner. I then asked them to READ what I wrote, including the link. It's just the thing you always have to do. You always seem to have to encourage them reading what you write. Then they replied that they removed the Wayspot.
🤪🤡
I love Wayfarer, I hate how it's handled.
