Searched for explicit owner-occupancy percentages or descriptors. Many listings repeatedly reference the hotel rental pool, high rental occupancy, and ability to self-manage or join hotel program, but none state owner-occupancy percentage. Numeric owner_occupancy cannot be inferred without explicit evidence, so left unknown.
Searched all remarks for numeric or written elevator counts (e.g., '4 elevators', 'four elevators', 'multiple elevators'). Remarks mention elevator security/keyed elevators but do NOT state the number of elevators. Per rules, cannot guess a numeric value without explicit 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.
Strong, building-level evidence: dozens of public remarks explicitly state "A/C" or "central A/C" is included in the maintenance fee (e.g., "Maintenance Fee includes ... A/C", "central A/C"). This matches the MLS checkbox prevalence and appears across multiple agents/listings rather than a single copy/paste instance.
Very strong building-level evidence: 20 of 20 MLS records include CABTV and many public remarks explicitly say "cable TV" or "cable TV included" in maintenance fees. Multiple agents across many listings repeat the same phrase, indicating consistent building-wide inclusion rather than isolated entries.
Moderately strong evidence that common area costs are included: many listings and MLS checkbox data indicate common/common expenses or common utilities are bundled into the maintenance fee (historical MLS: 13/20). Mentions are repeated across listings and consistent with building-level disclosures.
No analysis available
Very strong, building-wide evidence: nearly every listing explicitly says "electricity included" or "electricity" is part of the maintenance fee (e.g., "Maintenance Fee includes ... electricity"). MLS checkboxes corroborate this across all records.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that hot water is included: many listings and MLS fields state "hot water included" or list hot water among covered utilities (historical MLS: 18/20). There are no remarks indicating unit-level water heaters that would negate building-supplied hot water.
Very strong, building-level evidence: nearly every listing explicitly notes "internet" or "Wi‑Fi" is included (e.g., "Maintenance Fee includes internet, ..."). MLS checkbox data uniformly supports this inclusion.
No analysis available
Building-level evidence is strong: multiple listings list "water and sewer" or "sewer" as included in maintenance fees (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes ... water/sewer"). MLS checkbox data uniformly marks sewer as included.
Very strong, consistent evidence: many listings say "water included" or "water and sewer" in the maintenance description (e.g., "Maintenance Fee includes ... water"). MLS checkboxes uniformly reflect water as included.
Confidence 97%: Multiple remarks list 'BBQ area' among building amenities, and at least one MLS record has BBQ checked in the amenities.

Strong historical support (15/20 MLS listings flagged CONCIE) and numerous current remarks explicitly promote building concierge/front-desk services—phrases include "concierge service", "concierge services", and repeated references to front desk/valet. Multiple agents and listings consistently describe staffed concierge/front-desk amenities, providing high confidence this building offers concierge service.
No analysis available
A minority of MLS listings (3/20 checkbox DOORMA) but multiple public remarks explicitly mention 'doorman' or 'doorman & more' and many listings reference concierge/valet/lobby staff; evidence across agents supports that a doorman/lobby attendant service is offered by the building.
Strong evidence: MLS checkbox shows 20/20 listings with the exercise/fitness amenity and the remarks repeatedly state 'exercise room', 'fitness center', 'gym' and 'fitness room' (e.g., 'resort-style amenities include: pool, amenity deck, exercise room' and 'state-of-the-art fitness center'). Evidence is consistent across many agents/listings and matches the historical high-confidence data.
No analysis available
Multiple listings mention meeting/banquet/meeting room facilities (several agent remarks state 'meeting rooms', 'meeting facilities' or 'meeting room' and reference an activities/business center). While MLS checkbox coverage varied between listings, the repeated explicit mentions across listings indicate the building provides meeting/conference room amenities.
Strong building-level outdoor amenity evidence: dozens of current remarks reference 'lanai', 'private lanai', 'open lanai' or 'balcony' (examples: 'private lanai', 'open lanai', 'lanai with stunning ocean views'). Historical MLS data showed PATDEC/COVPAT in 7 of 20 listings and the remarks consistently confirm building units provide lanai/outdoor deck space across multiple agents rather than a single copy/paste instance.

Moderate evidence the building offers a recreation area: 9 of 20 MLS listings check the recreation amenity and several public remarks reference 'amenity deck', 'recreation area' or 'recreation spaces' tied to the renovated amenity deck/pool area. Mentions appear across multiple listings but are less uniform than core amenities, so confidence is moderate.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: MLS indicates 19/20 listings include a restaurant amenity and the remarks consistently reference on-site dining options, including named venues ('Signature Steakhouse', 'Cafe 410', 'Pint + Jigger') and generic phrases ('on-site dining', 'restaurants, cafes'), showing broad confirmation across multiple listings and agents.
No analysis available
Good, consistent evidence: MLS shows 16/20 listings with sauna and the remarks explicitly reference 'sauna', 'sauna (dry and steam)', and 'steam room' across multiple listings (e.g., 'fitness center with sauna', 'sauna (dry and steam)', 'sauna and steam room'), indicating the building offers sauna facilities and corroborating historical high-confidence data.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for 'surfboard', 'board storage', 'surf storage', and 'surfboard storage' and found none. While the building is near surf spots, there is no public-remarks evidence of designated surfboard storage.

Historical MLS data indicates 19 of 20 listings included valet (high confidence). Current remarks repeatedly state valet-related phrases (examples: 'valet', 'valet parking', 'valet service', 'valet, doorman'), appearing across many separate listings and agents rather than as a single outlier, providing strong multi-listing confirmation that the building offers valet services.

Strong, building-level evidence: 20 of 20 current MLS listings include a pool amenity and many remarks state "pool", "outdoor swimming pool", "resort-style pool" or "newly renovated pool deck". Multiple agents/remarks consistently describe the amenity (not a single isolated mention), supporting high confidence the building has a pool.
Moderately strong evidence the pool is heated: 11 of 20 current MLS listings include the heated-pool amenity and several remarks explicitly state "heated pool" or "heated pool, sundeck" (in addition to many mentions of the renovated pool area). Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, supporting a high confidence that the building's pool is heated.
Remarks reference a heated/outdoor/renovated pool and pool deck many times but do not indicate whether the pool uses salt water. I searched for 'salt', 'saltwater', and 'salt pool' with no matches.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: 18 of 20 recent MLS listings include the COMLAU amenity. Multiple public remarks explicitly mention shared facilities—quotes include “community laundry,” “conveniently located on the same floor as the laundry and vending machines,” and “laundry & valet service”—and references appear across listings from different agents, consistent with the historical MLS checkbox data.
I searched the remarks for terms like 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'paid laundry', 'card operated' and 'paid laundry' but found none. Several listings mention 'community laundry' or 'laundry & valet service' but do not indicate whether machines require payment.
Public remarks mention 'community laundry (6th and 13th floor)' and other references to 'community laundry' in amenity lists. There is explicit evidence that laundry is located on certain floors rather than on every floor, so 'every floor' is not supported.
Multiple listings (many agents/remarks) explicitly mention on-site parking options: common phrases include 'valet parking', 'valet service', '$34.50/day parking with in and out privileges', 'paid car parking', and 'self-parking garage'. While a few remarks note 'no deeded parking with unit', the building is repeatedly described as offering valet or paid parking across numerous agent remarks, indicating strong, building-level parking availability despite inconsistent MLS checkbox entries.
Across dozens of recent listings, parking is described as valet or paid hotel garage parking, with no references to any reserved, assigned, or deeded stalls. Multiple agents explicitly state that units do not include deeded parking and instead use on-site paid/valet facilities, so buyers should not expect assigned parking in this building. The rare MLS checkbox entries for assigned parking are unsupported by remarks and appear to be copy‑paste or data-entry mistakes.
No analysis available
Several listings directly state units do not include deeded parking (example: 'there is no deeded parking with unit'). Based on those explicit public remarks, parking is not deeded with units.
No analysis available
Remarks explicitly list a paid parking charge of $34.50 per day with in-and-out privileges in the hotel parking lot. No monthly parking rate was provided in the remarks.
Multiple agent remarks across listings reference valet parking, paid hotel parking (e.g., "$34.50/day parking with in and out privileges"), and self-parking/garage options, indicating the building provides parking services for guests. While only 2/20 MLS records currently checked the guest-parking box, the repeated mentions of valet/paid parking across many listings (not a single isolated ad) provide moderate evidence that guest parking is available.

I searched the remarks for terms like 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list for parking', or instructions to join a waitlist and found no references. Absence of mention suggests no advertised waitlist in the remarks, but building operations could have an unadvertised internal list.
No analysis available
Remarks explicitly reference 'keyed elevators for security' and other security-related entry controls, which supports the presence of card/fob/keyed access systems for building access.
High historical support (17/20 MLS listings flagged SECGUA) and multiple current remarks explicitly mention on-site security: listings state "Security guards on site", reference "keyed elevators for security" and note staffed door/concierge/"doorman" presence. Evidence is consistent across many agents/remarks and aligns with the MLS checkbox data, indicating strong building-level security staffing.
Listings explicitly mention security personnel ('Security guards on site.') and other staffed services (doorman/valet/concierge), supporting that the building has on-site security/patrol presence.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence that the building has central air: MLS metadata previously flagged ACCEN/CENAC in many listings (9/20 unit_features; 17/20 inclusions), and numerous current public remarks explicitly state "Maintenance Fee includes... A/C" or "central A/C." The repeated, consistent language appears across multiple agent listings (not limited to a single copy/paste instance), supporting inclusion of central_ac=true.
No listings' public remarks mention split or mini-split systems (0/20 mention split/mini-split). Many listings state "Maintenance Fee includes ... A/C" or "central A/C," suggesting building-level central air rather than ductless units. Only 1/20 MLS checkbox inclusions list ACSPL, likely a checkbox error or isolated case; overall evidence does not support listing split_ac for the building.
No analysis available
Historic MLS checkbox data overwhelmingly indicates concrete construction (previously 20 of 20 listings). Currently 19 of 20 listings still list CONCRE as the construction material and none of the public remarks explicitly mention construction type or contradict concrete/reinforced concrete, so evidence remains strong across multiple listings.
Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings lists double-wall construction and there are no remarks referencing 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction.' Given the isolated MLS checkbox and lack of supporting remarks or historical evidence, it's most likely an incorrect/ copy-paste entry and the building should not be classified as double-wall.

Only 3 of 20 current MLS listings include a steel-frame construction flag, while the vast majority list only concrete and no remarks mention steel framing. This pattern strongly suggests sporadic data-entry errors rather than a true steel-frame building, so steel frame construction is not treated as a building feature.

Many public remarks across numerous listings explicitly mention floor levels and high-floor units ('13th floor', '27th-floor', '30th-floor', 'high-floor', 'lanai'), confirming that units are above ground. Historical confidence was high and remarks consistently support above-ground construction, so the feature should remain true despite a small number of current MLS ABOGRO checkboxes.

Multiple listings repeatedly state the building is grandfathered/legal for short-term/nightly rentals and encourage hotel-pool or self-managed short-term use. Public remarks clearly indicate STRs are allowed.
Numerous listings describe an active hotel rental program (hotel rental pool) and note units can participate or be placed in that program (often managed by Mantra). This indicates the building operates a hotel rental pool.
Multiple public remarks explicitly state participation in the hotel rental program is optional and owners can self-manage or hire third-party managers. Because listings state the program is voluntary and owners can opt out, mandatory participation is false.

I searched for explicit leasehold language (e.g., 'lease expires 2050', 'land lease to 2065', 'leasehold expiring in...') across all remarks and found no year or lease expiry statements. Therefore the expiry year is unknown from the provided remarks.
I searched all remarks for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans accepted' and found none. Without explicit public-remark language, I cannot mark the building VA-approved. If you have owner/manager verification, that could change this.
Searched all remarks for insurance-related phrases (e.g., 'fully insured', 'walls-in coverage', 'comprehensive building insurance'). Remarks describe amenities and maintenance fee inclusions but contain no statement that the HOA carries full/walls-in building insurance. Therefore set to false with medium confidence.
Historical MLS data previously flagged the building as having fire sprinklers and current MLS checkbox appears on ~10 of 20 listings. At least 4 separate public-remarks entries explicitly mention sprinklers—quotes include "Bldg is equipped with a fire sprinkler system." and "Fire sprinklers have been installed." The language is repeated across multiple listings (some likely copy/paste), but the consistency across listings plus historical high confidence supports marking fire_sprinklers = true.
Searched for explicit language such as 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', or 'passed fire inspection'. Found references to fire sprinkler installation but no statement that the building passed an FLSE or equivalent. Absence of an explicit pass leads to 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, repeated evidence across many listing remarks confirms ocean views: dozens of listings explicitly state phrases like "ocean views", "partial Pacific Ocean views", "breathtaking ocean views", and reference ocean-facing stacks/lanai. Evidence is consistent across multiple agents/units and aligns with prior high-confidence historical data.
Multiple listings (dozens of public remarks) explicitly advertise mountain views — key phrases include "mountain views", "Ko'olau Mountains", "mauka side" and "mountain and city views." Mentions are widespread across units and agents and consistently described (e.g., "sweeping city, mountain, and ocean views"), providing strong building-level evidence that some units offer mountain views.
Multiple listings explicitly reference Diamond Head (phrases like "Diamond Head side", "preferred Diamond Head side", "Diamond Head view") across different units and towers. Evidence is repeated and consistent across listings, indicating the building offers units with Diamond Head views.
Numerous listings (dozens of public remarks) explicitly advertise city views — phrases such as "city views", "Honolulu city views", "panoramic city skyline" and "city and mountain views" appear throughout. Mentions are consistent across many units and agents, indicating strong building-level evidence that some units offer city views.
Several listings explicitly reference coastline/shoreline orientation and phrases like "view parallel to the coastline", "coastline views", and "sunset view parallel to coastline", indicating building units offer coastline views in addition to ocean and city vistas; evidence is consistent across multiple listings.

Multiple listings reference harbor/marina views with phrases like 'Ala Wai Boat Harbor', 'Ala Wai Harbor', 'yacht harbor', and 'marina views', indicating that some units overlook the harbor/marina areas.
Several listings reference morning/eastern exposure and phrases like "morning sun" and "east-facing", indicating that some units provide sunrise or morning views. Mentions are fewer than ocean/city references but are present across multiple listings.
Numerous listings explicitly mention sunset or evening views (examples: "sunset views", "Sunset View, Parallel to coastline!", "enjoy the sunset from your lanai"). This repeated language across many units indicates the building offers units with sunset views.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state that Friday-night/Hilton fireworks can be seen from the lanai/balcony (example quoted). This is direct evidence the building offers fireworks views from units.

Numerous listings (dozens across the remarks) explicitly reference on-site hotel management or the ability to “Hire Onsite Property MGR” and note a hotel management team/staff on the property (examples: “Self-Manage/Hire Onsite Property MGR or 3rd Party Property MGR,” “well Management team onsite,” and repeated references to the Mantra hotel management program). Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks and aligns with prior high-confidence MLS data, so there is strong support that the building has on-site/resident management presence or readily available on-site property management.
