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.

The 74% owner-occupancy rate is directly stated in multiple remarks and matches the current value. This repeated numeric evidence strongly confirms the figure.

Elevators
2
High

The remarks repeatedly confirm that the building has 2 elevators, including statements such as "with 2 elevators" and "2 elevators, so the privacy feels like a personal urban oasis." This matches the current value and provides strong direct evidence.

No

No

Fee Includes Common
Yes
High

Eight of nine current listings identify OTCOEX, indicating common-area electricity is included in the maintenance fee. The consistent MLS data across multiple listings strongly supports this building-level feature, although the public remarks do not explicitly mention it.

No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Gas
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Hot Water
Yes
Medium

Seven of nine current listings list HOTWAT as included, while two list WTRHTR, suggesting mixed or inconsistently entered data. Because the majority of listings support hot water inclusion and there are no remarks contradicting it, the feature is retained with moderate confidence.

Fee Includes Internet
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

All nine current listings identify SEWER as included in the association fee. This uniform data across multiple listings strongly confirms the feature, even though the public remarks do not explicitly discuss fee inclusions.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

All nine current listings identify WATER as included in the association fee. The consistent reporting across multiple agents strongly supports this building-level feature, with no public remarks suggesting otherwise.

Bbq
Yes
High

At least 5 current listing remarks mention BBQ, including “BBQ area” and “Pool w/shower, BBQ and dining area.” The repeated descriptions across multiple listings support a shared building amenity rather than a single-unit or copy-paste-only claim.

Bike Storage
No

No analysis available

Boat Dock
No

No analysis available

Car Wash
No
Low

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.

Meeting Room
Yes
High

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.

Patio Deck
Yes
High

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
Yes
High

At least 4 current remarks explicitly mention “sauna,” generally alongside the pool and BBQ amenities. The high historical confidence, 8/9 current MLS presence, and repeated amenity descriptions make the evidence strong.

Storage Unit
Yes
High

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.

Surfboard Storage
No

No analysis available

Tennis Court
No

No analysis available

Trash Chute
Yes
High

At least 4 current listings mention a “trash chute,” including “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.” The repeated, specific descriptions across listings strongly confirm a building trash-chute system.

Valet
No

No analysis available

Wall Fence
No

No analysis available

Whirlpool
No

No analysis available

Pool
Yes
High

The building consistently offers a pool: 6 of 9 current public remarks explicitly mention it, including descriptions of a "Pool w/shower" and pool among the building amenities. This aligns with the historical MLS data showing pool-related amenities in all 9 of 9 listings and is strong evidence across multiple listings rather than a single copied remark.

Pool Heated
No

No analysis available

Pool Salt
No

No analysis available

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

At least 5 of 10 current remarks explicitly mention in-unit or unit-associated laundry, including "In-Unit laundry," "washer/dryer," and laundry located just outside the kitchen on an exterior lanai. Combined with 9/9 MLS listings showing washer/dryer in inclusions and previously high confidence, the evidence is strong across multiple listings and supports including this feature.

Community Laundry
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry Paid
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry Every Floor
No

Parking
No

No analysis available

Parking Assigned
Yes
Medium

Seven of nine current listings mark parking as "ASSIGN," providing consistent MLS evidence for assigned parking. The remarks mention specific parking availability, including "2 covered tandem pkg stalls," "one covered tandem parking stall," and units with one or two parking stalls, but none explicitly state that the stalls are assigned or reserved; therefore, the evidence is moderately strong but may partly reflect agent checkbox copy-paste.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

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.

Parking Deeded
No
Low

Multiple listings confirm that parking stalls are associated with the units. However, none explicitly states that the stalls are deeded, included in the deed, or separately owned, so deeded status is not confirmed.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
Low

The remarks describe covered and tandem parking stalls but do not provide a parking rental fee or additional parking charge. The referenced monthly fees concern maintenance or reserves, not parking.

Parking Guest
No

No analysis available

Parking Secured Entry
No

No analysis available

Parking Tandem
Yes
High

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.

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
Low

The listings repeatedly describe available or included parking stalls. No building-wide parking waitlist system is referenced.

Security Keyed Elevator
No

Concrete
Yes
Medium

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.

STR Allowed
No
Low

The remarks focus on residential features, amenities, parking, and location, with no indication that short-term rentals are permitted. They also do not provide affirmative STR authorization, so this is treated as false based on the available remarks.

STR Hotel Pool
No
High

The listings mention a residential swimming pool, sauna, BBQ area, community garden, and resident manager, but no hotel rental pool or hotel operations. Because STR permission is not established, the hotel-pool feature is false.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
High

No listing states that owners must participate in a hotel rental program or that rental-pool participation is required. Since STR and a hotel pool are not established, mandatory pool participation is false.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
Yes

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
Low

The remarks were searched for leasehold and land-lease language, including expiration and extension dates. No specific lease-expiry year was found, so the value remains unknown.

Financing V A
Yes
High

Multiple listings directly confirm VA financing, including an assumable VA loan and explicit VA approval. This is strong, repeated evidence that the building is VA loan approved.

Insured Fully
Yes
High

Multiple listings directly describe the building as fully insured. These repeated explicit statements provide strong evidence that the HOA maintains full building insurance coverage.

Fire Sprinklers
No

No analysis available

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

The remarks were searched for explicit references to fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE passage, fire safety certification, life-safety compliance, and passed fire inspections. None were found, so there is no public-remark evidence that the building has passed an FLSE.

Flood Zone (Current)
X
High

Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Flood Zone (June 2026)
X

No analysis available

View: Ocean
Yes
High

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.

View: Mountain
Yes
High

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.

View: Diamond Head
Yes
High

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.

View: City
Yes
High

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.

View: Coastline
Yes
Medium

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.

View: Garden
No

No analysis available

View: Golf Course
No

No analysis available

View: Marina
No

No analysis available

View: Sunrise
Yes
High

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.

View: Sunset
Yes
High

Sunset views are confirmed by 5 of 9 current MLS listings, with remarks explicitly describing "Sunrise, Sunset," "warm-colored sunsets," and watching the sunset. The repeated references across multiple listings and high historical confidence indicate this is a legitimate building/view characteristic rather than a single copied remark.

View: Cemetery
No

No analysis available

Fireworks View
No

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
Yes

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

At least 4 of 9 current listings explicitly mention a resident manager, including “resident manager,” “live in resident manager,” and “resident manager on site.” The feature is also marked RESMAN in 8 of 9 listings, strongly confirming that the building has an on-site resident manager rather than an isolated copy-paste error.

Condotel
No

No analysis available

Coop
No

No analysis available

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.
