Hoe kan een mini bibliotheek niet geaccepteerd worden terwijl het voor iedereen openbaar toegangelijk is. Reden: het bevindt zich op een priveterrein. Waar moet het dan staan op de autoweg? Ik snap de beoordelingen niet van Niantic. Iemand enig idee?

Hi! I moved this to Nomination Support , Wayspot Appeals is rather used to appeal removals or rejected removal reports. Yours is a regular rejection, and as such can be appealed in your Contribution Management as needed (if you have used your 2 appeals recently the button can temporarily be absent until they replenish). However, before thinking about appeals, I would indeed collect the community’s opinions. I would suggest looking at the location of this little free library and what kind of property it is on as this is often an issue with them - many are placed on single-family private residential property.

I have attached a street view with the same angle as the supporting information. Although the street view does not show the Little Free Library, it is easy to see that it was installed after this street view was taken.
The residents of the house would have permission to use this Little Free Library to borrow, return or provide books. However, Niantic does not allow Wayspot to be located on the property (including the boundaries) of a single family’s private residence, even in such a case.

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.

These are multi-family, not single family.

It definitely does appear to be situated on the driveway of a private residential property, which would make the rejection reason correct.

It would need to be situated somewhere like the green space across the road in order for it to not be on private residential property.

They appear to be a terrace of individual single family dwellings. Number 194 is next door to 192, and so on.

These look like townhomes in the US, which are connected to each other.

I believe this site falls under the SFPRP. The land ownership classification laws may be different in different countries and regions, but the land registration should be clearly separated even if the buildings are connected. This The yard in front of the residential building is owned by the residents of the house (or the landlord) and should be considered occupied by them.

Zoals de anderen hier aan hebben gegeven, een gratis bibliotheek is op zich een mooie nominatie, maar die mag niet op prive terrein staan, althans niet bij een eengezinswoning. Het mag wel op een openbare groenstrook staan, of bij een appartementencomplex, of winkelcentrum etc

Het doet er echt helemaal niets toe dat je de bibliotheek kunt benaderen vanaf de stoep, zelfs als de bibliotheek aan de schutting vast zit, zal deze geweigerd worden.

De reden is simpel, wayspots horen niet op prive terrein te staan.

For reference/general sharing.
Connected houses are common in Europe and often referred to as a terrace.
The fact they are connected is not important as each is an individual family home (SFPRP).
