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.

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.

Six of eight current listings identify HOTWAT in association fee inclusions, indicating hot water is likely covered for the building. However, one listing includes WTRHTR, so confidence is moderate rather than high; no public remarks explicitly confirm or clarify the discrepancy.

All eight current listings list SEWER as included in the association fee. This is consistent across the building and reinforces the previously high-confidence conclusion, even though the public remarks do not separately mention sewer.
All eight current listings identify WATER as included in the association fee. The uniform listing data supports a building-wide inclusion and confirms the prior high-confidence determination; public remarks do not independently discuss water charges.
At least 4 provided listing remarks explicitly mention BBQ, including a shared BBQ and dining area and repeated amenity descriptions. The evidence is strong across multiple listings, although some repeated wording may reflect agent copy-paste.

None of the provided listing remarks mention car wash facilities. While 3 of 8 MLS listings contain the CRWSH code, the absence of any descriptive confirmation makes the feature unsubstantiated and likely reflects checkbox inconsistency.

One listing explicitly states that the building includes a "meeting room," alongside in-unit laundry, storage, and a pool. Although the feature is not mentioned across all remarks, the explicit statement and previously high historical confidence support inclusion.
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.

At least 4 provided listing remarks explicitly mention a sauna, with repeated descriptions of the building amenities including a pool, BBQ, and sauna. The repeated current remarks and 7-of-8 MLS support make this feature strongly validated.
Storage is consistently documented across multiple listings and agents, with 7 of 8 current public remarks explicitly mentioning dedicated storage, storage units, or storage lockers. The repeated unit-specific descriptions, including multiple listings stating that units come with 3 storage units, strongly confirm that the building offers storage.

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.

The building consistently offers a pool: 5 of 8 current public remarks explicitly mention a pool, including "Pool w/shower" and multiple statements that building amenities include a pool. This aligns with the pool amenity being checked in 8/8 current MLS listings and the previously high-confidence determination, providing strong confirmation across multiple listings.

Evidence is strong across multiple listings: at least four remarks explicitly reference in-unit or unit-associated laundry, including "In-Unit laundry" and "washer/dryer." This confirms the historically high-confidence MLS data rather than appearing to be an isolated or unsupported checkbox.

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 four of the eight current public remarks explicitly mention covered parking. Key phrases include '2 covered tandem pkg stalls,' 'One covered tandem parking stall fits 2 cars,' and '1 covered parking stall,' providing strong confirmation across multiple listings rather than relying only on copied MLS checkbox data.
The listings confirm that parking is included or associated with the units, but inclusion does not establish deeded ownership. No explicit wording such as deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in the deed was found.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee, monthly parking, parking charge, rental cost, and additional parking cost. The remarks mention other fees, including "$306/mo" toward reserves, but do not identify a parking fee.

Two current public remarks explicitly describe tandem parking, including '2 covered tandem pkg stalls' and 'One covered tandem parking stall fits 2 cars.' Although the feature appears in only 3/8 MLS records, the detailed repeated remarks strongly confirm that the building offers tandem parking.
No analysis available
The remarks describe covered tandem and covered parking stalls but contain no evidence of a building parking waitlist. No waitlist-related language was found.

Concrete construction is indicated in 8 of 8 current listings through the MLS construction_materials field marked “CONCRE.” None of the public remarks explicitly mentions “concrete construction,” “concrete building,” or “reinforced concrete,” so the evidence is consistent across listings but may reflect copied MLS data.

I searched for explicit short-term rental permissions, vacation rental terms, NUC, TVU, and minimum-night requirements. No STR allowance was identified, so short-term rental use is treated as not established.
The remarks discuss ordinary building amenities such as a pool, BBQ area, sauna, and resident manager, but do not mention a hotel rental program. Because STR allowance is not established, this feature is false.
I searched for mandatory pool participation, required rental programs, and cannot-opt-out language. None was found, and the prerequisite STR allowance is not established, so mandatory hotel-pool participation is false.

I searched for leasehold, land lease, lease expiry, lease expiration, ground lease, and renewal language. No specific lease expiration year was found, so the value remains unknown.
The remarks explicitly state that the building/unit is VA approved and has an assumable VA loan. These are strong direct indicators of VA financing eligibility.
Several public remarks directly state that the building is "Fully insured," supporting full HOA building insurance or walls-in coverage. This confirms the existing true value with high confidence.
No analysis available
I searched for references to FLSE, fire/life safety evaluations, fire safety certification, life-safety compliance, and passed fire inspections. No explicit confirmation or denial was found, so this remains unverified rather than established as false.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

All 8 current listings identify ocean views, and multiple agents explicitly describe "ocean views," "breathtaking ocean," and "the Pacific Ocean." The evidence is strong and consistent across listings, although some wording may be repeated MLS language.
Six of 8 listings contain mountain-view MLS data, and several remarks specifically reference the Koolau Mountains, panoramic mountain views, and surrounding mountains. This confirms that mountain views are an established building offering, not merely an isolated claim.
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 8 listings identify city views, with repeated references to Downtown Honolulu, city views, the Oahu skyline, and twinkling city lights. The feature is strongly corroborated across multiple listings and agents.
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.

Five of 8 listings contain sunrise-related MLS data, and one public remark directly promotes enjoying the sunrise. Although sunrise is mentioned less often than the broader ocean, mountain, and city views, the explicit remark and consistent MLS evidence support inclusion.
Five of 8 listings identify sunset views in MLS data, while multiple remarks explicitly describe warm-colored sunsets and watching the sunset. The combination of direct public remarks and repeated MLS indications provides strong confirmation.

The building's resident manager is strongly confirmed across both MLS data and public remarks: 7 of 8 current listings include RESMAN, and at least 4 remarks explicitly mention a live-in or on-site resident manager. The repeated descriptions across multiple listings support a genuine building-level feature rather than an isolated or unsupported checkbox.
