Building Features & Data Confidence

Across 48 listings for 1717 Ala Wai, none of the remarks explicitly mention the building’s construction date or phrases like 'built in' or 'constructed in.' The comments instead focus on upgrades and age-related work, e.g., 'stands out among older condos' and 'maintenance upgrades consistent with the age of the building,' but provide no specific year. Because 0 of 48 listings state a year built, there is no direct support or contradiction for 1970. The absence of any explicit year reference leaves the declared 1970 date unverified, so it remains plausible but unconfirmed.
Among 48 listings, 2 explicitly reference the 31st floor. One penthouse listing states it is on the '31st floor' and another describes a 'Fantastic Corner Penthouse! This top-floor residence' without giving a number. Together, these indicate that the 31st floor is the top residential level. No listing mentions any higher floor such as '32nd floor' or describes the building as having more than 31 stories, and no remarks contradict this. While most listings are silent on total floors, the explicit penthouse-on-31st-floor evidence strongly supports the declared value of 31, with only minor caveats about possible non-residential roof/mechanical levels.
Across 48 listings for 1717 Ala Wai, none of the remarks explicitly state the total number of units in the building. I searched for phrases like '109-unit building', 'one of 109 units', or similar, but found no such references; remarks focus instead on amenities, upgrades, insurance, and assessments (e.g., 'heated salt water pool', '100% hurricane insurance', 'special assessment until 2028'). Because 0 of 48 listings mention any building unit count, there is no direct support or contradiction for the declared value of 283 units. Thus, the accuracy of 283 remains unverified and must be treated as uncertain.
Searched for explicit owner-occupancy statements in the remarks but found none. Per rules, kept the existing value of 56.00 with low confidence and noted the absence of confirming remarks.
I searched the remarks for explicit numeric phrases (e.g., '3 elevators', 'four elevators'). The remarks repeatedly mention elevator modernization/upgrades but never give a count. Per rules, kept the existing value of 3 with low confidence due to lack of explicit numeric evidence.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.
Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.
Across 48 listings, several explicitly detail what HOA fees include, but none mention central air conditioning being covered. One listing states, 'HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package,' with no reference to AC. Multiple units highlight individual systems like 'Mitsubishi split AC system' or 'NEW BREAKER BOX AND AC WINDOW UNIT INSTALLED,' implying owner-installed, unit-specific cooling rather than a central building system included in fees. No remarks say 'central AC included' or similar. With 0 of 48 listings indicating AC in the maintenance fee and several implying self-contained AC, the evidence strongly supports the declared value of False, though absence of a full HOA breakdown in every listing leaves a small margin of uncertainty.
Strong building-level evidence: many listings and remarks reference cable included (e.g., 'HOA fees cover ... a full digital cable package' and 'Spectrum cable/internet'). CURRENT MLS checkbox CABTV is set in 14 of 20 listings and historical notes also indicated widespread inclusion, consistent across multiple agents.
Implied inclusion: 13 of 20 current MLS listings have the common-electricity checkbox (OTCOEX) set and remarks consistently reference common-area work and building-managed systems, but explicit phrasing like 'common area electricity included' is not present—evidence is moderate and may reflect checkbox copy-paste.
Across 48 listings, none mention 'coop taxes included,' 'cooperative taxes,' or any similar phrase. Instead, multiple remarks explicitly describe the property as a 'condo' or 'condominium,' e.g., 'This tastefully upgraded 2 bed condo' and 'two-full-bath condominium,' indicating a condominium, not a cooperative. Several listings detail what HOA fees cover, such as 'HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package,' but none add co-op tax coverage. There is no conflicting evidence suggesting co-op status or co-op tax inclusion. Given this consistent silence and condo language in all units, the declared value of False for fee_inc_coop_taxes is well supported, with the caveat that absence of mention is not absolute proof.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly state that electricity is included in the maintenance fee. One listing details that 'HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package' but does not mention power, which strongly implies electricity is separate. Several listings mention only the total maintenance fee or special assessment amounts without itemizing utilities, and no remarks say 'electricity included' or similar. With 0 of 48 listings supporting inclusion and no contradictory claims, the evidence supports the declared value of False, though absence of a full HOA breakdown leaves a small margin of uncertainty.
Across 48 listings, only 1 explicitly details what HOA fees include: it states, 'The HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package' and later mentions 'gas grills' as an amenity, not as a utility. No listing says 'gas included' or that gas is part of the maintenance fee. The remaining 47 listings are silent on gas in fees, despite often listing covered items like insurance or internet. There is no contradictory evidence suggesting gas is included. This strongly supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that silence is not absolute proof.
High-confidence inclusion: 16 of 20 current MLS listings indicate hot water included and numerous remarks explicitly state 'MF includes hot/cold water' or 'HOA fees cover hot and cold', corroborating building-level hot water being included in maintenance fees.
Well-supported: multiple agent remarks explicitly reference internet being included (e.g., 'Spectrum cable/internet' and 'internet paid through the HOA'), and 11 of 20 current MLS listings have the internet checkbox set—consistent across listings.
Across 48 listings, none mention a marina, boat slips, or marina access being included in the HOA or maintenance fees. Remarks repeatedly highlight what is covered, such as 'HOA fees cover hot and cold water, internet, and a full digital cable package' and emphasize amenities like 'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi, fitness room, sauna' and 'BBQ area, recreation deck' but never reference any marina-related benefit. Zero of 48 listings contradict this by suggesting marina inclusion. This consistent silence, despite detailed fee and amenity descriptions, strongly supports the declared value of False, with no evident caveats.
Very strong building-level evidence: 18 of 20 current MLS listings mark sewer included, and many remarks reference completed sewer/waste-line work and state sewer is covered—consistent across multiple listings and agents.
High-confidence inclusion: 18 of 20 current MLS listings indicate water included and numerous remarks explicitly say 'MF includes hot/cold water' or similar, confirming maintenance fees cover water for the building.
Very strong evidence: ~19 of 20 MLS listings historically include BBQ and many public remarks explicitly reference 'BBQ area', 'BBQ grills' or 'barbecue area' on the recreation deck/pool level, confirmed across multiple agent listings.
In the remarks, at least 1 of 48 listings explicitly mentions bike-related storage: the final listing states the building has 'surfboard & bicycle storage, etc.' This is a clear, direct reference to dedicated bicycle storage facilities. No listings contradict this by saying bike storage is absent; others are simply silent on the feature while mentioning general 'storage locker' or 'storage unit' options. Because there is explicit evidence in 1 of 48 listings and no conflicting statements, the declared value of False is refuted. The building does appear to offer bike storage, though details on capacity and access are not provided.
Across 48 listings, none mention any marina, slip, or 'boat dock' access, despite frequent references to water features and nearby boating areas. Remarks repeatedly highlight views of the 'Ala Wai Canal' and proximity to 'Waikiki Yacht Club' and 'marina view' but never state that residents can dock boats on-site. Amenities are consistently listed as 'pool, jacuzzi, sauna, BBQ, fitness room, recreation deck' and similar, with 0 of 48 units adding docks or moorings. There is no conflicting evidence suggesting boat facilities. This strong, consistent omission supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that off-site docks nearby are common in this area.
Moderate evidence: multiple listings explicitly mention a 'car wash' or 'designated car wash space' (e.g., 'designated car wash', 'car wash and secure entry') though it is less frequently cited than pool/fitness/BBQ; still enough mentions to include the amenity for buyers seeking car-wash facilities.
Across 48 listings, amenities are repeatedly detailed but none mention a clubhouse or club house. Common phrases include “recreation deck which includes a heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area,” “resort-style amenities including a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, BBQ area, gym,” and “pool, spa, barbeque area, gym, library, security personnel,” but never “clubhouse,” “club house,” or “community center.” At least 20+ listings enumerate amenities in depth, yet omit any club facility. No listing provides conflicting evidence. This consistent silence strongly supports the declared value of False, though it remains possible a small informal room exists but is not marketed.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention a concierge or front desk service. Instead, many listings emphasize security without concierge, using phrases like 'secured entry with on-site security,' '24-hour security,' 'security personnel at the front door,' and 'key fob entry and security at the front lobby' (appearing in at least 8 of 48 listings). One listing notes a 'reception area and on-site security,' but does not describe staffed concierge services such as package handling or resident assistance. No remarks reference a 'concierge' or 'front desk service.' This consistent pattern supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that a basic reception/security desk might exist but not function as a true concierge.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail—'heated salt water pool, hot tub, BBQ area and exercise room,' 'fitness room, sauna,' 'recreation deck with barbecue areas,' and similar phrases appear repeatedly. None of the 48 listings mention a 'dog park,' 'dog run,' 'pet area,' or any dedicated dog exercise space. Pets are referenced only in terms of policy, e.g., 'Cat and service dog friendly' and 'Dogs must be registered service/support animals,' but never alongside a physical pet facility. There is no conflicting evidence. This consistent silence on a commonly marketed feature supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that an unadvertised informal area could exist but is unlikely.
Across 48 listings, several explicitly reference staffed security or front presence but none mention a traditional doorman. At least 6 listings note '24-hour security' or '24/7 on-site security' and others mention 'security personnel' or 'security at the front door' and 'security at the front lobby.' One listing says 'secured entry with on-site security' and another 'secured high-rise building with on-site security and a resident manager.' No listing uses the terms 'doorman' or 'door attendant,' and there is no conflicting evidence. This strongly supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that robust security staff might function similarly in practice.
Strong, consistent evidence: ~17 of 20 MLS listings historically list an exercise/fitness room and the public remarks repeatedly state 'fitness room', 'fitness center', 'exercise room' or 'gym' (e.g., 'fitness room', 'fully-equipped gym'). Evidence appears across multiple agent listings and confirms the building-level amenity.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail—'pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ area, recreation deck,' 'gym, library, security,' and 'car wash'—but there are zero mentions of any limo, limousine, or car service. Many units repeat long amenity lists (at least 20+ listings) including guest parking, storage, security, and even niche items like 'book nook' and 'surfboard & bicycle storage,' yet none add limo-related services. No listing suggests valet, chauffeur, or shuttle service, and there is no conflicting evidence. This consistent silence, despite exhaustive amenity descriptions, strongly supports the declared value of false, with minimal caveats that an unadvertised service could exist but is unlikely.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail, repeatedly mentioning a 'pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ area, recreation deck, fitness room, gym, library, book nook' and similar features. One listing notes 'library, 24-hour security, and a fully upgraded recreation deck,' another mentions a 'book nook' and others refer to a 'lounge' or 'reception area.' However, none of the 48 listings explicitly mention a 'meeting room,' 'conference room,' 'board room,' or 'community room.' There is no conflicting evidence suggesting such a space exists. Given this consistent silence, the declared value of True is not supported, though absence of mention is not absolute proof of absence.
Building-level outdoor areas are well-documented: the MLS historically had 15/20 listings with PATDEC/COVPAT checked and current remarks across multiple listings explicitly reference lanais (e.g., "private lanai", "wraparound lanai", "open lanai") and common recreation deck/BBQ areas. Evidence is strong and consistent across many different agent remarks rather than appearing to be a single copy/paste error, so patio/deck is included.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention a dedicated jogging or walking path as a building amenity. Amenities are repeatedly described as 'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi, BBQ area, fitness room, sauna' and similar, with 20+ listings using nearly identical amenity lists. Several listings highlight proximity to Ala Moana Beach Park and the Ala Wai Canal for recreation, e.g., 'Easy walk to Ala Moana Beach Park' and 'enjoy views of the Ala Wai Canal,' but never state an on-site 'jogging path' or 'running trail.' There is no conflicting evidence suggesting such a feature exists. Given this consistent silence and detailed amenity descriptions, the declared value of False is well supported, with the caveat that nearby public paths are available but not part of the condo complex.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail—'recreation deck which includes a heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area,' plus repeated mentions of 'pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ area, fitness room' and similar. None of the 48 listings mention a 'playground,' 'tot lot,' or 'children's play area,' even when highlighting family-suitable aspects like 'great for families' or 'safe floor for children and pets.' There is no conflicting evidence suggesting a playground exists. This consistent silence, despite exhaustive amenity lists, strongly supports the declared value of False, though it remains possible a very small or informal play space goes unmentioned.
Across 48 listings, none mention a 'private yard,' 'fenced yard,' or similar terms; instead, outdoor space is consistently described as 'lanai,' 'wraparound lanai,' or 'recreation deck' (e.g., '100 sq ft open lanai,' 'spacious lanai provides captivating, panoramic ocean, city, canal, and mountain views'). Amenities repeatedly include pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ, and deck, but never any yard or ground-level private outdoor area. With 0 of 48 listings referencing a yard and no contradictory evidence, the corpus strongly supports the declared value of False, though silence cannot absolutely rule out a rare, unmentioned yard configuration.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail—'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area,' 'fitness room, sauna,' 'library,' 'book nook,' and 'recreation deck'—but none mention any form of 'putting green,' 'golf putting green,' or similar facility. I counted 0 of 48 listings referencing a putting green, despite many repeating long amenity lists. No listing hints at golf-related practice areas, and there is no contradictory evidence suggesting one exists. This consistent silence, given otherwise exhaustive amenity descriptions, strongly supports the declared value of False, with minimal caveats.
Good evidence: multiple listings explicitly reference a remodeled 'recreation deck' or 'recreation area' (e.g., 'recreation deck with heated salt-water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area', 'refreshed recreation deck') across many agent remarks, confirming a shared outdoor recreation area.
Evidence for an indoor rec room is weak: CURRENT MLS flagged few units historically (4/20) but public remarks overwhelmingly describe a 'recreation deck' and pool area rather than an indoor 'recreation room' or game room. No consistent, explicit mentions of an indoor rec/multi-purpose room across the remarks, suggesting the indoor rec room is not a reliably advertised building amenity.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention an on-site or in-building restaurant, café, or dining facility. References to food are always external, such as being 'close to parks, shopping, restaurants' or 'walking distance from ... restaurants, nightlife' and 'close to world famous beaches, shopping, restaurants.' At least 15 listings use this kind of proximity language, but zero describe amenities like 'on-site restaurant' or 'in-building café.' No remarks contradict this by implying internal dining services. The consistent silence on an amenity that is typically highlighted if present strongly supports the declared value of False, though it remains possible but unlikely that a very small food service exists but is not marketed.
Across 48 listings, none mention any rooftop-related features such as a 'rooftop deck,' 'roof terrace,' or 'rooftop amenities.' Instead, amenities are consistently described as being on a 'recreation deck' with 'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area' or similar wording (appearing in at least 20 of 48 listings). Several listings repeat this same amenity set without adding any rooftop access. No remarks hint at roof-level common areas or views specifically from a rooftop. This uniform, detailed amenity description, combined with total silence on rooftop features, supports the declared value of False, though absence of mention is not absolute proof.
Strong evidence: ~19 of 20 MLS listings historically list a sauna and many public remarks explicitly mention 'sauna' or 'dry sauna' (e.g., 'sauna', 'showers/baths/saunas upgraded'), confirming this common building amenity.
Strong, consistent evidence across listings that the building offers storage units/lockers: roughly 13/20 current listings have the building-level storage amenity checked and about a dozen list unit-level storage. Multiple remarks explicitly state "storage locker," "individual storage space," "on-site storage," or "storage unit next to parking," appearing across many different agent listings, indicating the feature is widely available rather than a single copy/paste error.
At least one listing explicitly confirms dedicated surfboard storage and others reference surfboard/bicycle storage, providing clear and repeated evidence that surfboard storage is available in the building.
Across 48 listings, amenities are described in detail, repeatedly listing features such as 'heated salt water pool, jacuzzi and BBQ area,' 'sauna, gym, library,' and 'recreation deck upgrades' but never once mentioning any 'tennis court' or similar facility. At least 20+ listings provide long amenity lists (pool, hot tub, fitness room, BBQ, car wash, library, security, etc.) with no reference to tennis. No listing suggests off-site or shared tennis facilities, and there is no conflicting evidence. Given the thorough amenity descriptions and consistent silence on tennis, the declared value of False is strongly supported, with only a minor caveat that unlisted features are always theoretically possible.
Limited evidence: while some historical MLS checkboxes included a trash chute, the current public remarks do not mention a trash/garbage chute system. Because remarks are silent and mentions are absent across listings, there is insufficient confirmatory evidence to assert a building-level trash chute amenity.
Across 48 listings, none mention any form of valet or valet parking. Instead, parking is consistently described as self-parking with phrases like '1 covered assigned parking stall,' 'one uncovered parking space,' and 'basement parking garage' (appearing in at least 15 of 48 listings). Amenities are repeatedly listed in detail—'pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ area, fitness room, 24-hour security, guest parking'—yet valet is never included. No listing contains the word 'valet' or suggests staffed parking services. This uniform silence, despite extensive amenity descriptions, strongly supports the declared value of False, with no contradictory evidence found.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention any kind of perimeter 'wall' or 'fence' around the property. The remarks focus on views, amenities, and building upgrades, with repeated phrases like 'secured entry with on-site security,' 'key fob entry,' and 'secure, well-maintained high-rise,' but never 'gated,' 'fenced,' or 'walled.' At least 10 listings describe security features (e.g., 'secured building with great amenities'), yet still omit any wall/fence reference. There is no conflicting evidence suggesting a perimeter fence. This consistent silence supports the declared value of False, though absence of mention is not absolute proof.
Clear evidence: ~17 of 20 MLS listings historically indicate a whirlpool/hot tub, and the remarks repeatedly reference 'hot tub', 'jacuzzi', and 'whirlpool' alongside the heated saltwater pool—indicating a building hot tub/spa amenity available to residents.
High-confidence evidence that the building has a swimming pool: 20/20 MLS listings historically list pool amenities and numerous current remarks mention the pool and recreation deck (phrases include "pool", "swimming pool", and "recreation deck which includes the pool"). Mentions appear across multiple agent listings and describe the pool as a common building amenity rather than a unit-only feature.
Multiple listings explicitly describe the building's pool as heated—common phrases include "heated saltwater pool", "heated pool", and "heated salt water pool" appearing across many agent remarks. This consistent, repeated language across listings supports a high confidence that the building's pool is heated.
The public remarks consistently and explicitly state the building's pool is a heated saltwater pool across multiple listings, providing very strong evidence that the pool is salt water.
Strong evidence that units in this building offer in-unit laundry: roughly 19–20 listings explicitly mention washer/dryer (examples: "Washer and dryer in-unit", "full-size W/D", "in-unit washer and dryer"). Mentions appear across many different listings/agents and align with prior high-confidence MLS inclusion data, indicating this is a building-level feature buyers should expect.
Across 48 listings, laundry is consistently described as being inside each unit, not shared. Multiple remarks explicitly state 'Washer and dryer in-unit' or 'Full-size, side-by-side washer/dryer' and similar phrases like 'full-size in-unit W/D' and 'washer and dryer in the unit' (at least 10+ listings). No listing mentions 'community laundry,' 'shared laundry,' a 'laundry room,' or any coin-operated/common laundry facilities. There is no contradictory evidence suggesting shared laundry. Given the repeated in-unit laundry references and total silence on common laundry, the declared value of True for community_laundry is not supported, though the building may coincidentally also have such facilities unadvertised.
I searched the public remarks for terms like 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card operated', and 'paid laundry'. The remarks reference in-unit washers/dryers and storage but contain no language indicating community laundry that requires payment. With no mentions, we treat this as likely not present.
I searched the public remarks for phrases such as 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. Listings repeatedly mention in-unit washers/dryers and storage but contain no indication of community laundry on every floor. Absence of any mention suggests the feature is likely not present.
Strong evidence that the building has parking: all 20 current MLS listings include parking features and the remarks repeatedly mention '8 guest parking stalls', 'on-site storage', 'covered parking', and 'one parking'. Multiple agents across many listings describe both guest and resident parking, indicating building-level parking rather than isolated unit-level notes.
High-confidence evidence that the building offers assigned parking: 15 of 20 MLS listings show ASSIGN and multiple public remarks explicitly state '1 covered assigned parking stall', '1 assigned parking stall', or 'designated parking stall'. Mentions appear across many different agent remarks and units, indicating this is a building-level feature rather than a single-unit anomaly.
Strong evidence for covered parking: 15 of 20 MLS listings include covered/garage parking codes and numerous public remarks explicitly reference 'covered parking stall' or 'covered parking'. Multiple listings note covered assigned stalls near building entry, showing covered parking is offered for building units.
Listings repeatedly mention assigned/covered parking stalls and storage but do not use language indicating parking is deeded or included in the deed. No explicit 'deeded parking' language was found in the remarks.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention EV charging, EV stations, or similar terms. Parking is repeatedly described only as '1 covered assigned parking stall,' 'basement parking garage,' or with features like 'car wash' and 'designated car wash space,' but never 'EV charging' or 'charging stations.' At least 10 listings detail amenities extensively—'heated salt water pool, whirlpool, BBQ and fitness center,' 'surfboard & bicycle storage'—yet still omit any EV-related feature. There is no contradictory evidence suggesting EV chargers exist. Given this consistent silence, the declared value of False is well supported, though absence of mention is not absolute proof.
Searched remarks for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'parking rental', and specific dollar amounts. The remarks note assigned parking and guest stalls but provide no monthly parking fee information.
Well-supported evidence that guest parking is available: 13 of 20 MLS listings include GUEST and many public remarks repeatedly note '8 guest parking stalls', 'guest parking', or 'ample guest parking' in front of the building, confirming on-site visitor parking is provided.
Across the 48 listings, at least 6 explicitly mention secure building or parking access. Two listings state 'secure parking' as an amenity, while others note 'secure entry and elevator access with 24/7 on site security,' 'secured entry with on-site security,' and 'key fob entry and security at the front door.' One listing calls it a 'secured high-rise building' and another a 'secured building' with cameras. No listings contradict or suggest open, unsecured parking. Although not every remark ties security directly to the garage, repeated references to secure parking and controlled entry strongly refute the declared value of False, with only minor caveats about exact access mechanisms.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention tandem or back-to-back parking. Instead, many listings clearly describe standard single stalls, e.g., '1 covered, assigned parking stall very, very close to the building entry' and '2bed/2bath/1covered parking' and 'one covered assigned parking stall and individual storage space.' At least 15 listings reference parking in this singular, non-tandem way, and several add details like proximity to storage, implying individual spaces. No remarks suggest shared or tandem configurations, and there is no conflicting evidence. This consistent silence on tandem parking, combined with repeated emphasis on single assigned stalls, supports the declared value of False, though it cannot absolutely rule out rare tandem arrangements for a few units.
Across 48 listings, none mention any form of valet parking or valet service. Parking is consistently described as self-park, e.g., 'one covered, assigned parking stall,' '1 covered parking and 1 storage locker,' and 'one uncovered parking space and a covered storage area.' Several listings highlight other services like 'on-site security,' 'security personnel at the front door,' and 'reception area,' but never attendants for cars. No listing suggests attended or valet-style parking, and there is no conflicting evidence. This strong, repeated silence on valet parking supports the declared value of False, though it remains possible but unlikely that an unadvertised valet option exists.
Searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', 'join waitlist' and similar phrases. The remarks describe assigned and guest parking but include no indication of a parking waitlist system.
Across 48 listings, several explicitly describe building security but only 3 mention elevator access details. One listing notes 'secure entry and elevator access with 24/7 on site security,' another says 'secure entry and elevator access with 24/7 on-site security,' and a third references 'secure entry and elevator access with 24/7 on site security' or similar phrasing, but none specify a 'keyed elevator,' 'key fob elevator,' or restricted floor access. Multiple listings mention 'key fob entry' or 'secured building' at the lobby level only. No remarks contradict this by describing keyed elevator controls. Given the consistent silence on keyed elevator mechanisms and only generic security language, the evidence supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that elevator access could still be controlled in ways not advertised.
Multiple listings explicitly reference electronic access methods such as key fob/keyless entry and secured entry, indicating the building uses card/fob access or equivalent electronic entry systems.
Strong, consistent evidence that the building provides security guard service: 16 of 20 current MLS listings have the SECGUA amenity checked and numerous public remarks explicitly state '24/7 on-site security', '24-hour security', 'security personnel', or 'on-site security'. Mentions appear across multiple agent listings (likely some copy‑paste), but consistency and historical high confidence indicate this is a real building feature.
Listings consistently describe an active security presence (24/7 on-site security and security personnel), which supports that the building has security patrol/service or staffed security. Confidence is very high given repeated explicit mentions.
Evidence for video or camera-based security is strong. At least 2 of 48 listings explicitly mention cameras, e.g., one states the 'secured building features security cameras throughout,' and another notes 'secured entry with on-site security.' Several more reference controlled access like 'secure entry and elevator access with 24/7 on site security,' 'key fob entry,' and 'security at the front door,' which typically rely on video/CCTV systems. No listings contradict or deny the presence of video security; some are simply silent. With multiple explicit mentions and no conflicts, the declared value of True is well supported, though not every listing details the system.
Across 48 listings, none mention 'central AC,' 'central air,' or similar building-wide HVAC. Instead, several units explicitly reference individual systems: one notes 'Mitsubishi split AC system throughout the entire apartment,' another mentions 'dual split A/C units,' and others cite 'window AC' or 'NEW BREAKER BOX AND AC WINDOW UNIT INSTALLED' and 'newer window AC unit in the main living area' (at least 5 of 48 listings). Many emphasize 'natural breezes' or 'trade winds' to stay cool. There is no contradictory claim of central air. This consistent pattern strongly supports the declared value of False, though silence in some listings leaves a small possibility of partial building upgrades.
In the 48-listing corpus, I found 3 explicit mentions of split systems. One listing states, “Stay cool year-round with a Mitsubishi split AC system throughout the entire apartment!” and another notes “dual split A/C units,” while a third references “Mitsubishi split AC system throughout the entire apartment!” (duplicated listing text). Several other listings instead mention “window AC” or “NEW BREAKER BOX AND AC WINDOW UNIT INSTALLED,” indicating some units still use window units. Most listings are silent on AC type. Despite this mix, the clear presence of multiple split systems supports the declared True value, though it may not be universal to every unit.
Historical MLS data indicates ACWIUN on 8/20 listings. Current public remarks confirm the feature across multiple listings (at least 5–7 different listings explicitly state phrases like "window AC", "new window AC unit", or "AC window unit installed"), so evidence is strong and comes from multiple agent remarks rather than a single copy/paste entry.
19 of 20 current MLS listings indicate concrete construction. While few remarks use the word 'concrete' explicitly, many listings repeatedly describe 'spalling,' exterior painting, tower spalling/repairs, and other concrete-related capital projects—strong, building-wide evidence across multiple agents that this is a concrete high-rise.
Only 4 of 20 current listings include DOUWAL in construction_materials and agent remarks contain no explicit mentions of 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction.' Historical records indicate this feature was previously flagged, but the current evidence is sparse and inconsistent—buyer/owner verification recommended.
Historical research and the current remarks set show no references at all to hollow tile, despite dozens of detailed descriptions of building upgrades and repairs. With just 1 of 20 listings ticking HOLTIL against this backdrop, hollow-tile construction is almost certainly not a feature of this building.
Although 3 of 20 current MLS records check 'masonry/stucco,' none of the public remarks (across the many listings) mention 'masonry' or 'stucco.' Given prior high-confidence evidence of absence and the lack of any descriptive remarks, the MASSTU checks are likely erroneous and the building should not be marked as masonry/stucco.
Across 48 listings for 1717 Ala Wai, none explicitly mention 'steel frame' or 'steel frame construction.' The remarks focus on other structural or building aspects such as 're-piped plumbing,' 'spalling repairs,' 'waste line replacement,' and being '100% hurricane insured,' but never identify the framing material. I counted 0 of 48 listings with any direct steel-frame reference. There is also no contradictory claim like 'concrete frame' or 'wood frame.' Given this complete silence on steel framing, the declared value of False is supported, though the absence of evidence is not absolute proof of non-steel construction.
3 of 20 current listings list SLAB in construction_materials, but public remarks across listings do not explicitly state 'concrete slab' or 'slab foundation.' Given the lack of explicit mention in remarks and sparse checkbox usage, the existence of a slab foundation is uncertain and should be verified by the owner or a site inspection.

Across 48 listings for 1717 Ala Wai, none explicitly mention 'wood frame' or 'wood frame construction.' Instead, multiple listings repeatedly describe it as a 'secure, well-maintained high-rise' and 'secured high-rise building,' language typically associated with concrete/steel structures in Waikiki. Several remarks reference extensive spalling, plumbing retrofits, and parking deck repairs, e.g., 'tower spalling and painting' and 'P-2 parking deck spalling repairs,' which strongly imply reinforced concrete rather than wood. No listing (0 of 48) provides any indication of wood framing, and there is no conflicting evidence. Given the consistent high-rise characterization and concrete-related maintenance, the declared value of False for wood-frame construction is well supported, though the absence of an explicit statement about structural material leaves a small residual uncertainty.
Only a minority of recent MLS checkbox entries (4 of 20) indicate 'above ground' and public remarks across the listings do not mention 'above ground construction' or specific above-ground materials. Given low historical support and absence of any confirming remarks (and no explicit recent change described), there is insufficient evidence to include this feature for the building.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention brick construction or a brick exterior. The remarks focus on views, amenities, and building upgrades such as 're-piped plumbing, elevator modernization, & a refreshed rec deck & pool' and repeated references to 'spalling, plumbing, elevators, recreation deck' and painting. These indicate a typical reinforced-concrete high-rise rather than a brick building. Zero of 48 listings use terms like 'brick exterior' or 'brick-and-mortar construction,' and there is no conflicting evidence suggesting brick. Given this consistent silence on brick and emphasis on concrete-related repairs, the declared value of False is well supported, with the caveat that absence of mention is not absolute proof.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention 'single wall construction,' 'single wall,' or similar phrases. Instead, several remarks emphasize substantial structural and systems upgrades, such as 're-piped plumbing, elevator modernization, & a refreshed rec deck' and 'waste line replacement, P-2 parking deck spalling repairs and coating, new railing around the building.' Multiple listings (at least 10 of 48) describe the property as a 'secure, well-maintained high-rise' or 'recently renovated, sought after building,' which strongly implies conventional concrete/steel construction typical of Waikiki high-rises rather than older single-wall wood. No listing suggests traditional Hawaiian single-wall style, and there is no conflicting evidence. Given this consistent silence on single-wall construction and repeated high-rise framing cues, the declared value of False is well supported, though absolute confirmation would require building plans or permits.
Searched for STR language (e.g., 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'TVU', 'NUC', '30-day minimum'). There is no STR-related language in any listing remark, so STR allowance cannot be confirmed from public remarks.
Searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', and brand-managed rental language. No such language appears in the remarks. Per rules, since STR is not supported by remarks, hotel-pool participation is marked false.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'must be in rental program' and found no such language. Because STR is not indicated in the remarks, mandatory pool participation is false.
Across 48 listings for 1717 Ala Wai, none of the remarks explicitly mention land tenure as “fee simple,” “FS,” “leasehold,” “LH,” “owns land,” or similar phrases. The text focuses on views, amenities, insurance, and special assessments, with quotes like “1717 Ala Wai stands out from other buildings” and “building has completed major projects,” but never addresses ownership of the underlying land. Because 0 of 48 listings reference tenure at all, there is no direct evidence that any unit is Fee Simple. With no contradictory mentions either, the declared value of True is not supported by the remarks alone, so it must be treated as unverified and likely false based on this corpus.
Across 48 listings, none of the remarks explicitly mention leasehold-related terms such as 'leasehold', 'LH', 'land lease', 'lease rent', or any lease expiration dates. All descriptions focus on upgrades, amenities, assessments, and insurance, with quotes like '1717 Ala Wai stands out' and 'well-managed building' but never reference land tenure. There is no conflicting evidence suggesting any unit is leasehold. Because 0 of 48 listings indicate leasehold and such a material fact is typically disclosed, the evidence strongly supports the declared value of False, with the caveat that tenure is inferred from silence in remarks only.
Searched remarks for phrases such as 'lease expires', 'land lease', 'leasehold', 'lease expiry year', and specific years. No leasehold or lease expiry year is mentioned in the public remarks.
Multiple listings explicitly reference an assumable 2.25% VA loan and instruct buyers they can assume the VA loan. Based solely on public remarks, this indicates the building accepts VA financing.
Numerous listing remarks explicitly state the building carries full/100% hurricane insurance or is 'fully insured', so I set this to true with high confidence.
Across 48 listings, 2 explicitly address sprinklers. One states: 'NOTE: Sprinklers system not mandated to be installed as Building has Powerful Fire Hoses on Each Floor' and another repeats, 'Sprinklers system not mandated to be installed. Building has powerful fire hoses on each floor.' No listing claims sprinklers are present, and the remaining 46 are silent on this feature while detailing many other building upgrades, suggesting the absence is meaningful. There is no contradictory evidence. This strongly supports the declared value of False, though building codes could change in the future.
Searched for terms like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', or 'passed fire inspection'. The remarks mention fire hoses on each floor and smoke detectors but do not state that an FLSE was passed. With no explicit mention and no current value to rely on, marked false with medium confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Strong evidence across the current remarks: many unit listings explicitly state "ocean views", "peek-a-boo ocean view", or "wake up to ocean..." and describe sunsets over the ocean. This is corroborated by prior high-confidence historical data indicating ocean views are a building feature. Evidence appears across multiple agent listings and is consistent rather than a single copy/paste instance.
Multiple listings (approx. 18) reference mountain or Koolau views, using phrases such as 'majestic Koolau mountains', 'mountain views', and 'mountains, canal, and ocean views'. This consistent, repeated language across agents supports that mountain-view units exist in the building.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention a Diamond Head view. View descriptions consistently reference other landmarks: “panoramic views of the ocean, yacht harbor, Ala Wai Canal, and majestic Koolau mountains,” “sweeping city, canal, and ocean views,” and “mountain, canal, and ocean views from your lanai.” One unit notes it is on the “preferred Diamond Head side of the building” but still only lists “ocean, city, canal, and mountain views,” not Diamond Head itself. With 0 of 48 listings citing a Diamond Head view and no contradictory evidence, the declared value of false is well supported, though silence doesn’t absolutely preclude a limited DH view from some stacks.
Multiple listings explicitly advertise "city" or "city skyline" views and "city lights by night," with units described as having panoramic city and skyline vistas. This consistent, multi-listing evidence plus prior high-confidence history supports including view_city for the building.
Several listings (approx. 4) explicitly reference 'coastline' or 'coastal' views or list 'coastline' among panoramic descriptors ('ocean, coastline, canal, cityscape and mountains'), supporting that some units offer coastline/shoreline views.
Across 48 listings, views are consistently described as 'ocean, yacht harbor, Ala Wai Canal, and... mountains,' 'city, canal, and ocean views,' or 'panoramic ocean, city, canal, and mountain views.' Several units note 'relax... overlooking the rec deck and Ala Wai canal' or 'Fantastic location with a CANAL VIEW!' but none mention a 'garden view,' 'courtyard view,' or landscaped grounds. I found 0 of 48 listings explicitly referencing any garden-related view. There is no conflicting evidence suggesting garden vistas. Given this uniform emphasis on water, city, and mountain views and total silence on gardens, the declared value of True is not supported, though a small chance remains that minor garden areas exist but are not marketed.
At least one recent listing clearly states panoramic “golf course” views in combination with city and marina vistas, indicating that certain stack orientations capture the Ala Wai Golf Course. Given the building’s canal-front position and that even a subset of higher or correctly oriented units can see the fairways, buyers seeking golf-course views should consider this building.
Several listings specifically mention "marina view", "yacht harbor", and frequent references to the Ala Wai Canal and canal views, including phrases like "marina view unit" and "view of the yacht harbor." The repeated, multi-listing confirmations alongside prior high-confidence history indicate the building offers marina/canal views.
No listings in the provided remarks explicitly mention 'sunrise', 'morning sun', or 'eastern exposure'. While many listings describe sunsets and various directional views (ocean, canal, mountains, city), there is no evidence that 'sunrise view' is a described or promoted feature in any unit.
Numerous remarks call out sunset or evening views, with quotes such as "colorful SUNSET skies", "Enjoy sunsets over Ala Moana and Waikiki", and "catch a sunset from your spacious lanai." These appear across multiple listings and agent remarks, indicating sunset views are commonly available in the building.
Across 48 listings, views are consistently described as 'ocean, yacht harbor, Ala Wai Canal, and mountains,' 'city, canal, and ocean views,' or similar phrases like 'panoramic ocean, coastline, canal, cityscape and mountains.' None of the 48 remarks mention a cemetery, 'cemetery view,' or anything overlooking burial grounds. Several units emphasize being on the 'cooler side' or 'quiet side' with canal and skyline vistas, further reinforcing the dominant view corridors. There is no conflicting or contradictory evidence. Given this complete silence on cemetery views and strong emphasis on alternative views, the declared value of false for view_cemetery is well supported, with only the usual caveat that unmentioned minor views cannot be entirely ruled out.
Multiple remarks reference the building's proximity to the weekly Hilton fireworks, but none explicitly state that residents can view the fireworks from their unit or lanai (no phrases like 'watch fireworks from lanai' or 'fireworks view from unit'). Because the remarks only indicate proximity and not a view from the building, the feature is marked false with high confidence.

The feature loc_hobron_ena likely indicates a Hobron Lane/entrance-of-Waikiki location. In the 48-listing corpus, at least 6 listings explicitly describe this: e.g., one says the unit is 'at the entrance of Waikiki' and another repeats 'located at the entrance of Waikiki.' Others reinforce this by calling it 'the gateway to Waikiki' or 'on the edge of Waikiki' and noting proximity to Ala Moana and the Convention Center. No listing contradicts this by placing the building deeper inside Waikiki or elsewhere. Many additional remarks emphasize walking access to Ala Moana and beaches, consistent with the Hobron/entrance area. Given multiple explicit confirmations and no conflicts, I judge the declared value True as well supported, with only minor caveat that the exact Hobron label is inferred from context rather than named directly.
Evidence strongly supports pets being allowed. At least 4 of 48 listings explicitly mention pets: one notes 'Safe floor for children and pets,' another states 'Cat and service dog friendly,' and two others specify 'The building allows one pet per household, with dogs requiring registration as service or support animals' and 'PETS:One pet per household. Cats ok. Dogs must be registered service/support animals.' One listing simply says 'Pet friendly.' No listings say 'no pets' or prohibit animals. The repeated, explicit pet policies confirm the declared value of True, with the caveat that dogs must be service/support animals and there is a one-pet limit.
Strong evidence the building has an on-site/resident manager: historical MLS checkbox data lists RESMAN in 14/20 recent records and multiple current remarks explicitly mention an "on-site manager" or "resident manager" (appearing across several different listings). Agents consistently reference on-site management alongside 24/7 security, suggesting the feature is real and corroborated by multiple remarks rather than a single copy-paste error.
Across 48 listings, none explicitly mention condotel characteristics such as a 'hotel rental pool,' 'hotel front desk,' 'hotel program,' or the words 'condotel' or 'condo-hotel.' Instead, remarks consistently describe it as a 'secured high-rise' or 'well-managed building' with amenities like 'pool, hot tub, sauna, BBQ area, fitness room, 24-hour security.' Several listings emphasize owner-occupant or investor use, but never hotel-style operations. No listing (0 of 48) contradicts this by referencing hotel management. The uniform silence on hotel operations strongly supports the declared value of false, with no evident caveats beyond the usual possibility of unmentioned private rental arrangements.
Across 48 listings, every remark consistently describes units as 'condo,' 'condominium,' or 'apartment' (e.g., '2 bed condo,' '2-bedroom, 2-bath condo,' '3 bedroom 2 bath upgraded Condo'), with zero mentions of 'co-op,' 'cooperative,' or related ownership structures. At least 15 listings explicitly use the word 'condo' or 'condominium' while discussing fee-based amenities, special assessments, and hurricane insurance typical of condo associations, not co-ops. No listing contradicts this by suggesting cooperative ownership. The complete absence of co-op terminology, combined with repeated condo language, strongly supports the declared value of False, with minimal caveats.
Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
