You may be unable to access it yourself, but people who have a valid reason to be there can access it safely on foot, meaning it meets the requirements of having safe access, and as it isn't a single family private residence, Niantic are unlikely to remove it.
Thanks for the appeal, @croupier-ING. Due to insufficient evidence, we’re unable to take action on the Wayspot in question. If you have additional evidence to share like geotagged images/articles, please submit a new appeal with additional information and we’ll take another look.
The address (Pyssysepäntie 2) is listed in here in the list for housing services for substance abuse clients: https://pohde.fi/palvelut/paihdeasiakkaiden-asumispalvelut/?area=oulu
Domain pohde.fi belongs to Wellbeing Services County of North Ostrobothnia, which is an official state instance, began operations on 1st of January 2023, taking over the social and rescue services from communalities.
Private yards are included in the Constitution of Finland to belong under the cover of domestic peace. As there are several separate apartments there, this isn't as strict - police will however remove people from the yard if someone calls for that and they have no ties to people living in any of the apartments or other business like package delivery or maintenance work.
@NianticLC Including complete information via phone app is very difficult, is the information above complete enough?
Please reconsider this removal request @NianticLC. I submitted this building in 2019 thinking it was a normal housing unit with some historic value instead of assisted care home for substance abuse clients. Description might not be entirely accurate either since I wrote it in accordance to prior conversations with locals and a few mentions in Pateniemi sawmill museum due to not finding any information online.
After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question. Thanks!
