Its not about look that matter. LFL is ineligible if its located in Single Family Private Residential Property.

There are some helpful clarifications posted here:

Little Free Libraries

Little Free Libraries (LFL) can be eligible for nomination, but their location is critical to whether they can be accepted. Little Free Libraries with safe access on sidewalks outside of apartment buildings or on municipal or communal property are eligible. Those on single-family private residential properties (SFPRP) are ineligible. [image] :+1:The LFL above is a good example of an eligible Waypoint. It is on public property and is well-maintained. It faces the sidewalk, does not block acces…

Private Residences, Farmland & K-12

Single-family private residential properties (SFPRP), farms, and K-12 (schools or facilities primarily focused for persons under 18 years of age) are ineligible. This includes the outer facing facade, fence of these locations, and property boundaries.

Not all reviewers are aware that LFLs on PRP are ineligible, so they approve them instead of rejecting them. This is something that has happened before, and if a LFL on PRP does get accepted, a removal request can be made in-game, via help chat, or via the report abuse link at the top of the forums.

I do keep an eye out for LFLs on PRP and report them for removal if they have a Wayspot. The last one I reported was on PRP, could be seen as being on PRP on Street View, and it was accepted and removed.

It’s not unusual to find Wayspots for ineligible POIs, like LFLs on PRP, as they can squeak by in voting with the community from time to time. Some reviewers may just see the photos of the LFL and think it’s eligible without checking the location, therefore approving it. The first thing I check when I get a LFL to review is the location, and most are on PRP, even if the submitter tries to hide this fact in their photos, as I usually can match the photos to Street View, or from satellite it appears to be PRP.
