909 Kapiolani
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

I searched the remarks for explicit percentages or statements about owner-occupancy (e.g., '80% owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied', 'highly owner occupied') and found none. Because owner-occupancy is a numeric field and there is no current value or explicit remark to use, the value is left unknown (null) with low confidence.
Public remarks explicitly mention '3 keyed elevators' in the building. This directly supports the current value of 3 elevators with high confidence.
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.

Public remarks contain 0 mentions of cable or 'cable included' while MLS checkbox CABTV is present on only 1 of 20 current listings. With no supporting remarks or historical confirmation, the evidence that cable is included in maintenance fees is weak and likely a data error.
MLS association_fee_includes shows OTCOEX on 19 of 20 current listings (historically 17/20). Public remarks do not explicitly state 'common area electricity included' but also do not provide widespread, explicit contradictions (only one remark notes 'electric invoiced separately' which may refer to unit electric). The strong and consistent MLS checkbox evidence across multiple listings indicates common-area electricity is included.

No listings checked HOTWAT (0/20) while 17/20 include WTRHTR in inclusions, and public remarks repeatedly mention "new water heater" or "water heater" for units. Multiple agents consistently reference water heaters (suggesting in-unit heaters), and there's strong cross-listing evidence rather than a single agent copy/paste; therefore building maintenance does not include hot water.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong MLS evidence that sewer is included in maintenance: 18 of 20 current listings have SEWER in association_fee_includes and prior historical data showed 19 of 20. Public remarks across listings contain no statements contradicting sewer coverage, and the prevalence across multiple agents suggests this is a consistent building-level inclusion.
Strong MLS evidence that water is included in maintenance: 18 of 20 current listings have WATER in association_fee_includes and historical entries were similarly consistent (18/20). No public remarks explicitly contradict this, and the repeated checkbox usage across listings indicates building-level water inclusion.
Very strong evidence: many listings explicitly state 'BBQ stations', 'BBQ area' or 'BBQ grills' (appearing in the majority of public remarks), consistent across agents and matching historical MLS data.

Clear evidence: several remarks explicitly state 'car wash area' or 'car wash station', showing the building provides car wash facilities and matching historical MLS listings.

Strong evidence: over a majority of the provided listings (≈15–18) explicitly list a fitness center/gym/exercise room with phrases such as 'fitness center with barbell bench press', 'fully equipped fitness center', 'exercise room', and 'gym on the 1st floor'. Mentions are consistent across multiple agent listings and descriptions, indicating a real, building-wide fitness amenity rather than an isolated or private feature.
No analysis available
Moderately strong evidence: multiple listings explicitly mention a 'meeting room' or combined 'meeting/party room', present across several agent remarks and supported by MLS amenity listings.
High-confidence evidence that the building offers patios/decks: at least 15 of 20 listings and multiple agent remarks explicitly mention private or covered lanais and an amenity deck (quotes include 'private lanai', 'covered lanai viewing the iconic Convention Center', and 'amenities deck'). The references are consistent across many different listings/agents and align with the MLS checkbox data, indicating a building-level feature rather than isolated unit phrasing.

Good evidence for a broader recreation/amenity area: several remarks describe an 'amenities deck', 'amenity deck', or 'open play areas' (e.g., 'Amenities deck has a swimming pool with spa, BBQ, party room, open play areas'). This corroborates MLS entries and appears across multiple listings.
Strong evidence: roughly a dozen remarks mention 'rec center', 'party room', 'party room/meeting room' or 'recreation room', indicating shared recreation/party spaces are part of the building amenities.
No evidence of an on-site restaurant: while many remarks highlight nearby dining, none of the public remarks describe an in-building 'restaurant'/'café' and historical commentary likewise notes absence of on-site dining. Agents consistently reference external dining options instead.
No analysis available
No supporting evidence: none of the provided public remarks (0/20) mention 'sauna', 'steam room', or similar. Given prior low historical confidence and the complete absence of any sauna references in multiple agent remarks, the sauna amenity is likely incorrect in MLS checkbox fields and is omitted.
Multiple listings explicitly advertise building or unit storage: at least 8–10 public remarks reference storage rooms/lockers (examples: “two generously sized storage rooms,” “storage unit (#S412),” “Large size store room (S205),” and “44 SQ FT STORAGE INCLUDED”). MLS checkbox data also shows storage in some listings (5/20 amenities, 3/20 unit_features). The repeated, specific mentions across different listings indicate building-level storage is available, and the evidence is strong across multiple agents rather than a single copy/paste entry.
Searched for explicit surfboard or board storage language. Listings mention storage rooms and lockers but there is no specific reference to surfboard storage or dedicated board storage facilities.
No analysis available
Consistent evidence: both historical data and current public remarks reference a trash chute/refuse chute (explicit phrase examples include 'trash shoot'/'trash chute'). Mentions appear across listings from multiple agents and the MLS amenity checkbox is widely set (19/20), indicating a building-wide trash chute system.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong evidence: numerous listings reference 'jacuzzi', 'hot tub', 'spa' or 'whirlpool', often paired with pool amenities—consistent across multiple agent remarks and MLS data.
Strong, building-level evidence: numerous current listings (multiple agent remarks) explicitly list pool-related amenities — examples include 'Pool and hot tub', 'lap pool, jacuzzi', 'swimming pool with spa', and 'amenities deck has a swimming pool with spa'. Historical MLS checkbox data also shows all current listings include the POOL amenity (20/20), indicating consistent, strong confirmation across agents rather than an isolated or single-listing claim.
No analysis available
Searched for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'saline pool'. Remarks describe pools and spa/jacuzzi but do not indicate that the pool is salt water.
Strong, consistent evidence that some units have in‑unit laundry: 20 of 20 current listings indicate washer/dryer/in‑unit laundry (examples: "in unit washer/dryer", "washer/dryer in unit", "washer, dryer"). Mentions appear in multiple listings and by multiple agents and align with prior high-confidence data, so inclusion is well-supported.
No analysis available
Searched for terms indicating paid community laundry (coin-op, card-operated, quarters, paid laundry). Remarks only reference in-unit laundry; no evidence of paid community laundry was found.
Searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. Multiple listings repeatedly state 'in-unit washer/dryer' but there are no mentions of community laundry facilities on any floor.
No analysis available
Strong building‑wide evidence for assigned parking: historical MLS shows 17 of 20 listings with ASSIGN and numerous remarks explicitly state 'assigned parking stalls', 'reserved parking stall', and '1 assigned covered parking stall'. Mentions appear across multiple unit listings and agents rather than isolated copy/paste, supporting high confidence.
Very strong evidence for covered parking: historical MLS shows most records with covered/garage codes and many remarks explicitly note 'covered parking stall', '2 covered parking stalls', and 'gated garage covered parking (tandem)'. The references appear across many listings and agents, indicating building‑wide covered parking availability.
Listings repeatedly describe assigned/reserved/covered parking stalls and occasional availability to purchase or rent extra stalls, but none explicitly state parking is deeded/owned with the unit. Determination of deeded parking must come from explicit public remarks, so set to false with low–medium confidence.
No analysis available
I looked for language like 'monthly parking fee', 'parking charge', or specific dollar amounts for parking. The remarks describe assigned stalls, rentals, and availability but do not list a monthly parking fee, so the monthly fee is unknown.
Multiple independent listings highlight on-site guest parking (13 of 20 MLS records list GUEST), with remarks such as 'lots of guest parking', 'ample guest parking', and a specific note of 'ten guest parking spaces'. Evidence is consistent across agents and listings.
Moderate evidence that parking has secured entry: 6 of 20 MLS records list SECENT and several remarks reference security features—'secured building access', '24 hr security', 'gated garage covered parking (tandem)', and 'keyed elevators'—suggesting parking access control, though explicit descriptions of a gated/controlled vehicle entry are less frequent.
Clear evidence that some units use tandem parking: 8 of 20 MLS entries list TANDEM and multiple public remarks explicitly say 'tandem' or 'tandem parking stalls.' This indicates tandem configuration is available for certain units in the building.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit references to a parking waitlist or waiting list language. None were found; while extra stalls are noted as becoming available, no waitlist system is referenced, so parking_waitlist is set to false with low confidence.
No analysis available
Searched for 'key card access', 'fob access', 'card reader', and similar phrases. While the remarks reference 'keyed elevators' and 'secure building access', there is no explicit mention of card/fob-based entry systems.
Strong evidence the building provides on-site security: historical MLS data had SECGUA checked in 16 of 20 listings and the current public remarks repeatedly mention '24 hr security', '24-hr security', 'secure building access', and 'security patrol'. These phrases appear across numerous agent remarks (at least a dozen separate mentions), indicating consistent reporting by multiple listings rather than a single copy/paste error.
Searched for 'security patrol', 'roving security', and '24-hour security'. Multiple remarks explicitly reference security patrol/24-hour security, supporting a high-confidence true value.

No analysis available
Strong evidence that units in this building have split (ductless) A/C: the MLS inclusions show ACSPL for all 20 listings and at least 18 separate public remarks explicitly mention 'split A/C' (examples: 'equipped with split a/c units', 'brand-new split AC unit', '3 split AC units', '2 split ACs'). Mentions appear across multiple agents and listings and include explicit recent replacements, so the feature is well-supported.
No analysis available
Strong building-level evidence that 909 Kapiolani is concrete: 17 of 20 current MLS listings include 'CONCRE' in construction materials and prior analysis rated confidence as High. Public remarks across listings do not explicitly mention construction materials, but the consistent MLS checkbox usage across multiple agents supports inclusion.
A number of MLS listings (12 of 20) list 'DOUWAL' indicating double-wall construction and prior assessment was Medium. Public remarks do not reference 'double wall' or similar, so the evidence is moderate and likely inferred from MLS checkbox entries rather than explicit agent descriptions.

No analysis available
Some MLS listings (11 of 20) indicate steel-frame construction and prior confidence was Medium. Public remarks across the listings contain no explicit references to 'steel frame' so evidence is moderate and may reflect mixed/partial steel framing or inconsistent agent checkbox usage.

I searched the public remarks for explicit STR-permitting language or minimum rental restrictions. There are no statements allowing short-term/vacation rentals nor any TVU/NUC language, so STRs are presumed not allowed based on available remarks (medium confidence).
There is no reference to hotel rental pool programs or hotel-managed operations in the public remarks. Because STRs are not indicated as allowed, hotel pool participation cannot apply.
No listing language indicates a required/mandatory hotel rental pool or required rental program. Given the absence of STR/hotel-pool language, mandatory pool participation is false with high confidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to 20XX', 'leasehold', and explicit four-digit expiry years. No leasehold or lease expiry year was found in the remarks, so the lease expiry year is unknown.
The public remarks explicitly state 'VA approved building,' indicating VA financing is accepted. This is direct language from the listings and provides high confidence.
Numerous listings explicitly indicate comprehensive/master/walls-in insurance coverage (phrases like '100% insured' and '100% Hurricane Coverage'), which supports marking the building as fully insured by the HOA with very high confidence.
Strong evidence across listings: 16 of 20 current MLS entries list the FIRSPR amenity and many public remarks explicitly state 'fire sprinklers', 'fire sprinklered', or similar (some typos present like 'fire sparklers'), confirming the building is fire-sprinklered. Mentions come from multiple different listings/agents rather than a single repeated line, indicating the feature is building-wide and not an isolated error.
Listings frequently mention fire sprinklers/fire-sprinklered units (e.g., 'fire sprinklers'), but there is no explicit phrase such as 'FLSE passed' or 'fire life safety evaluation passed'. Because FLSE passage is only determined by explicit remarks and none were found, the field is set to false with moderate confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
At least 8 listings in the provided remarks explicitly mention ocean or panoramic ocean views (e.g., 'breathtaking panoramic ocean and mountain views', 'stunning ocean views', 'best value ocean view'). Multiple agents independently reference ocean-facing aspects of units, indicating the building offers ocean-view units even if the MLS checkbox count is low.
Multiple listings’ public remarks explicitly describe mountain or mauka views — examples include "unobstructed panoramic mountain views", "Mauka City and Mauka views", and "mountain views from Punchbowl to Manoa". At least ~15 separate remark sections in the provided data mention mountain/mauka views, appearing across different agent write-ups rather than a single copy/paste. Evidence is strong and consistent with the building historically listed as having mountain views.
No analysis available
Many listings’ remarks explicitly advertise city or cityscape views — sample phrases include "breathtaking city and mountain views", "city and mountain views from your private lanai", and "beautiful city views". At least ~12 separate remark sections in the provided data mention city or cityscape views, coming from multiple agents’ descriptions, supporting a high-confidence conclusion that the building offers city views.
No listings in the provided remarks mention 'coastline', 'shoreline', or 'coastal' views and MLS view_descriptions list 0/20 for coastline. There is no evidence that the building offers a distinct coastline/shoreline view category, so this feature is marked false.

Multiple listings explicitly mention sunset views or enjoying sunsets from the lanai (phrases include 'evening sunsets' and 'enjoy the sunset'), indicating some units have western exposure/sunset views and would be relevant to buyers seeking that feature.
No analysis available
Searched for explicit language like 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from lanai', or 'see fireworks from unit'. Remarks reference proximity to Blaisdell Center events but do not state a fireworks view from the building.
No analysis available
Historical MLS checkboxes listed RESMAN in 16 of 20 recent listings. Current public remarks in at least four different listings explicitly reference a 'resident manager' or 'friendly residence office staff' (e.g., "resident manager, security & guest parking" and "friendly residence office staff"), showing corroboration across multiple agents rather than isolated copy/paste.
