Academy Towers
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.

Public remarks explicitly report a 74% owner-occupancy rate. I searched for phrases like 'owner occupied', 'owner occupancy', and numeric percentages and found the direct statement 'High owner occupancy rate (74%)', so the numeric value 74 is used with high confidence.
Multiple listings explicitly mention '2 elevators' in the public remarks. I searched the remarks for terms like 'elevator', 'elevators', 'four elevators' and found repeated explicit references to '2 elevators', so the building appears to have 2.

All 7 current MLS listings include OTCOEX in association_fee_includes, indicating common area electricity is included. Public remarks across the listings do not explicitly mention utility inclusions (no explicit confirmation or contradiction), and there are no user verifications to override the MLS checkboxes, so the MLS consistency is taken as strong evidence.

A majority (5 of 7) of current MLS listings list HOTWAT in association_fee_includes, suggesting hot water is included for many units. Public remarks do not mention hot water being included or excluded, and there are no owner/manager verifications; evidence is implied (majority MLS checkbox) rather than explicitly described in remarks.

All 7 current MLS listings include SEWER in association_fee_includes, indicating sewer service is covered by maintenance. Remarks do not explicitly address sewer, but the consistent MLS checkbox across all listings provides strong evidence.
All 7 current MLS listings include WATER in association_fee_includes, suggesting water is included in the maintenance fee building-wide. Public remarks across listings do not discuss water fees, but the consistent MLS checkboxes across all listings indicate strong, building-level coverage.

One listing's public remarks explicitly state 'meeting room' among building features: 'Additional features include In-Unit laundry, dedicated storage, meeting room, pool, and resident manager on site.' Only 1 of 7 remarks mention it, so evidence is limited but explicit across an agent's listing copy.
All seven recent listing remarks explicitly mention lanais or exterior patios — phrases include "wrap around lanai", "exterior lanai", and "relaxing on your lanai." While only 2 of 7 MLS checkboxes currently list PATDEC/COVPAT, the unanimous agent remarks across multiple listings strongly indicate the building provides patio/deck (lanai) amenities rather than being a checkbox error.

Sauna is referenced repeatedly in public remarks and is checked in 6 of 7 MLS listings. Example quotes: 'amenities include a pool, BBQ, & sauna' and 'Building amenities include pool, BBQ, & Sauna.' Multiple listings and MLS checkbox data strongly support that the building offers a sauna.
Strong evidence across listings: 6 of 7 public remarks explicitly mention storage (quotes include "dedicated storage", "Unit comes with 3 storage units", "Comes with 2 storage lockers", and "Included walk-in storage unit"). MLS checkboxes also indicate storage on most listings. This is consistent across multiple agents and units, so the building should be listed as offering storage units/lockers.

Trash chute is explicitly described in multiple unit remarks (e.g., 'trash chute located just outside of the kitchen door on an exterior lanai' and 'Laundry and trash chute are conveniently located just outside of your kitchen on an exterior lanai') and is checked in 6 of 7 MLS listings, indicating the building provides a trash chute system.

All 7 current MLS listings have the pool amenity checked, and multiple agent remarks (at least 4 listings) explicitly state the building offers a pool (phrases include 'amenities include a pool' and 'Additional features include ... pool'). Evidence is consistent across several listings and agents, supporting a high-confidence inclusion of a building pool.

All 7 current MLS listings list WASHER/DRYER in the inclusions and multiple public remarks mention in-unit laundry or washer/dryer (quotes include "In-Unit laundry", "washer/dryer", and "Laundry... located just outside of your kitchen on an exterior lanai"). The consistent appearance across every listing suggests this is a building feature offered in some units rather than a single-agent error.

Six of seven current MLS listings mark parking as 'ASSIGN' (assigned/reserved). None of the public remarks explicitly use words like 'assigned' or 'deeded,' so the evidence is primarily from MLS checkbox data and could reflect agent copy/paste; still, the strong MLS prevalence supports including assigned parking for the building.
At least three different public remarks explicitly reference 'covered parking stall' (one saying 'One covered tandem parking stall fits 2 cars'), and MLS checkbox data marks covered parking on 4 of 7 listings. The combination of explicit remarks across listings plus MLS data provides strong evidence that the building offers covered parking.
Multiple listings mention an included covered/tandem parking stall with units, but there is no explicit language indicating the stall is deeded. I searched for 'deeded', 'owned', and 'included in deed' and found no such phrasing.
No analysis available
Searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'additional cost', and similar terms; found no information about a separate parking fee in the public remarks.

Tandem parking is explicitly mentioned in at least one public remark ('One covered tandem parking stall fits 2 cars') and appears in MLS parking_features for 2 of 7 listings. The evidence indicates some tandem stalls exist in the building, but mentions are relatively few so confidence is moderate.
No analysis available
Looked for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', or instructions to join a parking waitlist; none were found in the listings, so no evidence of a waitlist system.

All 7 of the current MLS listings for this building have the construction_materials checkbox set to CONCRE (7/7). No public remarks explicitly state 'concrete' or 'reinforced concrete', suggesting the checkbox may be copy-pasted across agents; nonetheless the uniform checkbox across multiple listings provides moderate (implied) support that the building is concrete-constructed.

Searched for explicit STR language and minimum-night rules; none found. Given absence of STR-related wording across listings, short-term rentals are not indicated as allowed.
Searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', or references to hotel management; none were present. Because STR is not indicated as allowed, hotel pool participation is set false.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'cannot opt out' language and found none. With no STR allowance or hotel pool references, mandatory pool participation is false.

Searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring', and specific years; found none. Without an explicit year in the remarks, the lease expiry is unknown.
Multiple listings explicitly mention VA approval and an assumable VA loan, indicating the building/units are VA-eligible. I searched for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA loan', and 'assumable VA'.
Several listings explicitly state the building is 'Fully insured' (indicating walls-in/full HOA coverage). I searched for phrases like 'fully insured', 'full insurance', and 'walls-in coverage' and found direct mentions, so this is recorded as true with high confidence.
No analysis available
I searched all public remarks for explicit phrasing such as 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'fire inspection', 'fire safety certified', and 'life safety compliant' but found no references. Because there is no explicit statement that the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation and no user verification was provided, I return false with medium confidence (absence of mention suggests it likely wasn't stated publicly). If you have an owner/manager verification or a document stating the FLSE passed, provide it to raise confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

All 7 listings mention ocean views (e.g., 'ocean views', 'Pacific Ocean'), with repeated agent remarks like 'breathtaking ocean' and 'panoramic... the Pacific Ocean'. Evidence is strong and consistent across multiple agent remarks and MLS view checkboxes.
Five of seven listings reference mountain/Koolau views (quotes include 'panoramic views of The Koolau Mountains' and 'mountain... views'). Multiple agents consistently list mountain views, giving high confidence.
Four listings explicitly mention Diamond Head (e.g., 'Diamond Head views', 'Diamond Head, ocean & city views'). Multiple agent remarks confirm Diamond Head visibility, supporting inclusion with high confidence.
All 7 listings reference city/downtown/urban views (phrases like 'Downtown Honolulu', 'urban living', 'city views'). Consistent MLS data and remarks across listings indicate strong evidence for city views.
Four listings' MLS checkboxes list coastline; agent remarks emphasize ocean and Honolulu shoreline panoramas (e.g., 'ocean and city views', 'Pacific Ocean'), so coastline is included with moderate confidence based mainly on MLS data.

Four listings' MLS view checkboxes indicate sunrise/eastern exposure, but public remarks rarely (if ever) mention 'sunrise' or 'morning sun'. Evidence is moderate and primarily driven by MLS data rather than agent remarks.
Four listings indicate sunset views in MLS and at least one remark explicitly mentions 'warm-colored sunsets' and 'watch the sunset'. MLS data plus explicit agent language support inclusion with high confidence.

6 of 7 current MLS listings list RESMAN in amenities and at least 3 separate public remarks explicitly mention a resident/on-site manager (quotes include 'resident manager on site' and 'friendly, responsive resident manager'). The consistency across multiple listings and agents indicates the building offers an on-site/resident manager; evidence appears corroborated rather than a single copy‑paste error.

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.
