Bel-Air Plaza
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.

No listing provides a percentage or clear qualitative statement about the share of owner-occupied units in the building. I searched for phrases like 'X% owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied', and 'highly owner occupied' but found none, so the owner-occupancy rate remains unknown.
It is clear the building has at least one elevator due to mentions of elevator access and an elevator special assessment, but no listing specifies the number of elevators (e.g., '2 elevators'). Because the exact count is never given, the number of elevators remains unknown. I searched for phrases like 'X elevators', 'multiple elevators', and similar wording but found none.

Across all 9 recent listings for this building, agents consistently checked cable TV (CABTV) as included in the association fee. Public remarks do not list utilities in detail but never contradict this, suggesting cable is a standard building-provided service covered by maintenance fees. This pattern across multiple agents indicates strong, building-wide inclusion.
Most listings (8 of 9) mark OTCOEX in association_fee_includes, which maps to common area electricity being included in the fees. No remarks separately mention charges for hallways, elevators, or amenity power, implying these are covered by building common expenses. The near-unanimous MLS data supports treating common area electricity as included in maintenance fees.

Every recent MLS listing (9 of 9) shows HOTWAT as included in the association fee, and none list individual water heaters (WTRHTR), which would usually contradict building-provided hot water. Remarks discuss in-unit laundry but never mention separate water heater responsibilities or hot water charges. This consistent MLS coding strongly supports that hot water is supplied by the building and included in maintenance fees.
A majority of recent listings (6 of 9) check internet service (INTSER) as part of the association fee, suggesting a building-level internet arrangement. While public remarks do not explicitly say “internet included,” they also do not contradict it or describe separate required contracts. The partial but consistent MLS pattern points to internet being included in the HOA for the building, though with slightly less certainty than other utilities.
No analysis available
Every recent listing for this building (9 of 9) marks sewer as included in the association fees. Agents consistently treat sewer as part of the standard HOA coverage, and there are no remarks suggesting additional sewer billing to owners. This unanimity across multiple listings supports a high-confidence conclusion that sewer is included in the maintenance fees.
Most recent MLS entries (8 of 9) for this building show water as included in the association fees. Public remarks never highlight separate water charges or individual metering, which would typically be mentioned if owners paid water directly. This strong MLS consensus supports that water is a building-provided utility covered by the maintenance fee.
Several listings describe a 'barbecue area' or 'BBQ area' among the building amenities. Combined with consistent MLS checkbox data, this provides strong evidence that shared BBQ facilities are available to residents.

Multiple independent remarks describe a 'fitness room', 'gym', or 'fully equipped gym', and MLS amenities consistently include an exercise room. At least 6 of 8 listings reference this feature, indicating it is a well-established shared building amenity rather than an agent error.

Multiple agents mention a 'recreation deck' or 'large patio/rec deck' as a building amenity. This repeated wording across different listings, plus MLS data, supports that the building has a shared recreation/amenity area.

Remarks consistently highlight a sauna as a key amenity, including references to 'saunas' and separate 'men's and women's saunas'. The frequency and specificity of these mentions across listings confirm that the building has shared sauna facilities.
No analysis available
The building offers a dedicated storage room for surfboards (and bikes), as directly mentioned in the amenities. This is clear, explicit evidence that surfboard storage is available.
No analysis available
Several agents specifically include 'trash chute' when describing the building features, aligning with the MLS amenity checkbox. This repeated, explicit mention indicates the building has a common trash chute system.

Multiple independent listings for Bel-Air Plaza explicitly mention a pool among the building’s amenities (e.g., 'featuring a pool,' 'resort-style amenities like a sauna, pool, and fully equipped gym'). With 9/9 current MLS entries checking pool-related amenities and no contrary evidence, it is highly reliable that the building has a shared swimming pool. This is a well-established, repeatedly confirmed building feature rather than a one-off agent error.
No analysis available
The building clearly has a pool, but its type is not described as saltwater. Searched for 'salt water pool', 'saltwater', 'saline', and similar descriptors and found no matches, so it is treated as not confirmed saltwater.
Multiple listings for this building explicitly advertise in-unit washer/dryer, with phrases like 'includes in unit Washer-Dryer', 'in unit washer/dryer that vents out of the building', and 'Washer/dryer in the unit'. Combined with MLS data showing washer/dryer in 9/9 listings, there is strong evidence that in-unit laundry is available in this building.
No analysis available
Listings emphasize in-unit laundry and do not mention any pay-per-use laundry facilities. Searched for terms such as 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'card-operated', and 'laundry fee' and found no evidence of paid community laundry.
Remarks describe laundry as being inside the units and do not mention any common laundry rooms or laundry on each floor. Searched for phrases like 'community laundry', 'laundry on each floor', and 'common laundry' and found none, so a separate community laundry on every floor is unlikely.
No analysis available
Several listings mention assigned stalls, e.g., 'one assigned parking stall', '1 covered assigned parking', and 'Guest parking and one assigned parking in secure garage'. Combined with 8/9 MLS checkboxes, this strongly indicates that parking is assigned in this building.
Multiple listings explicitly say 'assigned covered parking stall', 'secured, covered parking stall', and 'standard garage parking stall in a secured entry garage'. With 9/9 MLS entries indicating covered/garage parking, covered parking is clearly available in this building.
Parking is consistently described as assigned or covered, without any indication it is deeded or separately owned. I searched for 'deeded parking', 'owned stall', or similar wording and found no evidence that stalls are deeded.
No analysis available
Listings state that units come with assigned or covered stalls but do not mention any extra monthly fee for parking. I looked for phrases like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking charge', or 'rented parking' and found none, so any parking fee amount is unknown.
Listings repeatedly note guest parking, including 'guest parking', 'six guest parking stalls', and 'Amenities include ... 6 guest parking stalls'. With 8/9 MLS records also checking guest parking, the building clearly offers guest/visitor stalls.
Several listings describe parking as in a 'secured entry garage', with phrases like 'secured, 1 assigned covered parking stall is located in a secured entry garage' and '1 secured standard garage parking stall'. Alongside 7/9 MLS entries with secured entry checked, this strongly supports that garage/parking access is secured.

Each listing simply states that the unit includes an assigned or covered stall, with no indication of limited availability managed by waitlist. I searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list for parking', and similar terms and found no mentions.
No analysis available
While the building has secured entry and a secured garage, the access method is not detailed. Searched for terms like 'key card', 'fob access', 'card reader', and 'electronic access' and found no explicit mention of card/fob-based security.
No analysis available
None of the remarks reference a security patrol or roving guards. Searched for 'security patrol', 'roving security', 'patrolled', and similar terms and found no evidence that a patrol service is provided.

MLS construction_materials for all 9 listings include concrete (CONCRE), indicating a concrete-constructed building. Public remarks reference a secured boutique building with elevators and a parking garage, which is consistent with reinforced-concrete mid/high-rise construction in this area. No listing suggests any alternative primary construction type.
A minority of current listings (3/9) specify double-wall (DOUWAL) construction in the MLS data, suggesting some portions of the structure or unit interiors use double-wall framing. No listing explicitly disputes this, and agents otherwise appear to be inconsistent in marking secondary wall types. Given this partial but unopposed evidence, the building is likely to include some double-wall construction elements.

MLS construction_materials show above-ground (ABOGRO) checked in 2 of 9 listings, and none of the other listings explicitly select an incompatible construction type. The described mid/high-rise, elevator-served concrete building with a garage and recreation deck is consistent with standard above-ground wall construction used in Honolulu condominiums. Although not uniformly marked in MLS, the available data and building type support including this feature.

The building is presented as a standard residential condo with no language about legal vacation rentals or hotel-type use. I checked for terms like 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'NUC', 'TVU', or '30-day minimum' and found none, suggesting STRs are not promoted or clearly allowed.
Listings describe typical condo amenities and residential use and do not reference any hotel operation or rental pool program. I looked for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel program', or management by a hotel brand and found no evidence of participation.
Because there is no sign of a hotel rental pool at all, there is also no evidence that any such program is mandatory. I searched for phrases like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'must be in rental program' and found none.

Nothing in the remarks indicates that this is a leasehold property or provides a ground lease expiration year. I looked for phrases such as 'lease expires', 'land lease to', and 'ground lease ends' but found none, so the expiration year is unknown.
The remarks emphasize location, amenities, and condition but never reference VA approval or VA financing. I searched for terms like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', and 'VA loans' and found no matches, so VA approval is likely not advertised.
Several independent remarks consistently emphasize that the building is fully or 100% insured for hurricane coverage, indicating comprehensive master policy coverage rather than partial or under-insured status. Although the wording focuses on hurricane insurance, the repeated 'fully insured' and '100% insured' language strongly supports marking the building as fully insured by the HOA.
No analysis available
None of the listings refer to a fire/life safety evaluation, fire inspection results, or life safety compliance. I looked for terms such as 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', and 'passed fire inspection' but found no matches, so this feature is marked as not present based on current information.

City views are strongly documented: 7 of 9 MLS view fields include CITY and at least four separate remarks explicitly mention 'expansive city views' or 'views of the city, mountains and Diamond Head'. Evidence comes from multiple listings and agents, so this is a reliable building-level feature that some units clearly enjoy.

No listing remarks or MLS view fields reference sunset views, evening light, or western exposure, despite multiple detailed descriptions of views (city, mountains, Diamond Head). Combined with explicit mention of east-facing views and absence of afternoon sun, the evidence indicates this building does not meaningfully offer sunset view units.
No analysis available
Although some units have city and Diamond Head views, none of the remarks state that fireworks can be viewed from the unit or lanai. Searched for 'fireworks', 'Friday night fireworks', and similar phrases and found none.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state that Bel-Air Plaza has a 'resident manager' among its amenities, and MLS data show this box checked in 9/9 listings. The repeated, detailed mentions across different remarks and agents provide strong evidence that the building has an on-site resident manager. This appears to be a stable, ongoing building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
