Searched for phrases like '80% owner occupied' or explicit percentages; none present. Because a numeric current value exists and no explicit percentage override appears in the remarks, the current 44.00% is kept with low confidence.
Remarks reference 'elevators' and 'unit close to elevator' but never specify a numeric count. Per rules, do not change the existing numeric value without an explicit number in the remarks, so the current value (2) is retained with low confidence.
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.

Many listings explicitly state cable is included (e.g., "Basic Cable", "cable TV included"). Historical MLS data shows 18/20 listings with CABTV checked, and current remarks across multiple agents repeatedly list cable among the utilities included, indicating strong and consistent evidence.

No analysis available
Electricity is repeatedly and explicitly mentioned across listings (e.g., "Everything is included on the maintenance fee: Electricity...", "ALL utilities included"). Current MLS data shows 20/20 with ELECTR, providing very strong, consistent evidence that electricity is included.
No analysis available
Numerous listings explicitly list hot water among the covered utilities (e.g., "Hot Water", "maintenance fee includes hot water"). With 17/20 MLS entries showing HOTWAT and many agent remarks confirming it, evidence is strong that hot water is included in the maintenance fee.

Sewer is consistently listed across listings (e.g., "Sewer" included among "electricity, cable tv, sewer, water..."). Current MLS data shows 20/20 with SEWER checked and multiple agent remarks confirm it, indicating very strong evidence sewer is included.
Water is repeatedly and explicitly mentioned as included (e.g., "Water" or "water included" in maintenance fee). With 20/20 MLS entries showing WATER and consistent agent remarks across listings, evidence strongly supports that water is included.
BBQ or grill facilities are not mentioned in any of the compiled public remarks, but 13 out of 20 current MLS listings have the BBQ amenity box checked. This majority MLS pattern implies the presence of a shared BBQ/grilling area, though agents may be relying on checkbox defaults rather than emphasizing it in descriptions. Treated as an implied building amenity with moderate confidence.

Only a few listings (approximately 2 of the 20 remarks) reference a "car wash area" or similar phrasing (e.g., "even a car wash area"). This suggests the building may offer a car wash facility, but the evidence is sparse and could be agent copy/paste—further verification recommended.

At least 12 of the listings' remarks explicitly mention a dog park or pet area (e.g., "dog park", "pet friendly dog park", "rare private dog park", "outdoor path to walk their dogs"). Mentions appear across multiple agent remarks rather than a single copy/paste, supporting strong evidence the building offers a dog park/pet area.

Approximately 18–20 listings mention a sauna or "pool and sauna" (phrases like "pool, sauna", "pool deck with saunas", "Enjoy the circular swimming pool and Sauna"). This consistent, repeated confirmation across multiple agents provides very strong evidence the building includes a sauna.
No analysis available
Public remarks repeatedly and consistently confirm dedicated surfboard (and kayak) storage on site (e.g., 'Amenities include ... surfboard/kayak storage', 'surfboard storage area').
No analysis available
Although none of the narrative remarks call out a trash or garbage chute by name, every one of the 20 current MLS listings includes TRACHU in the amenities. This unanimous MLS indication supports that the building is equipped with a shared trash chute system on resident floors.

Strong, consistent evidence that Canal House includes a shared swimming pool: public remarks in the listings repeatedly reference a pool (phrases include “circular swimming pool,” “onsite pool,” and “access to the on-site pool”), and 18 of 20 current MLS listings have the pool amenity checked. Multiple agents use similar wording—likely some copy/paste—but the high historical checkbox rate combined with frequent explicit mentions across listings gives high confidence the building has a pool.
No analysis available
I searched for 'salt', 'saltwater', 'salt pool' and similar terms and found none. The listing describes a pool/sauna but does not indicate it is a saltwater pool.
Multiple listings for this building explicitly describe in-unit laundry with phrases like 'in-unit washer & dryer', 'in-unit stacked washer/dryer', and 'full size front-loading washer and dryer...inside the unit', and MLS inclusions show washer/dryer on 20/20 records. The consistency and frequency of these mentions across many separately written remarks strongly indicate that Canal House units commonly have in‑unit laundry. Buyers seeking buildings that offer in‑unit washer/dryers would clearly find this building relevant.
No analysis available
I searched for terms such as 'coin', 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card operated', 'paid laundry' and found none. No evidence of paid community laundry in the public remarks.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and similar. All listings consistently describe in-unit laundry; there is no language indicating community laundry on every floor.

13 of 20 current MLS listings mark parking as assigned. Numerous remarks explicitly reference a secured/covered parking stall tied to the unit, tandem/premium stalls, and even specific stall numbers ("#422", "214", "t36"), indicating assigned/reserved parking for units. Evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks and supported by MLS checkbox prevalence, giving moderate confidence that parking is assigned.
Covered parking is repeatedly described in the remarks, including phrases like 'Secured COVERED PARKING,' 'this unit parking is covered,' and '1 covered Parking Stall.' At least several different listings from different agents mention covered stalls, and 16/20 MLS entries have a covered/garage-type parking feature checked, indicating the building offers covered parking to residents.
Numerous listings explicitly state a parking stall comes with the unit (e.g., 'Large parking stall comes with the unit', 'secured parking stall', 'covered parking right next to the lobby'). Those repeated statements support that parking is provided with the unit (treated as deeded/assigned) with high confidence.
No analysis available
Searched for terms like 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', or 'additional parking cost' and found none. Because parking is repeatedly described as provided with the unit, there is no stated parking fee in the remarks; field left null.
No analysis available
Numerous listings mention secured parking, using phrases like 'Residence enjoy secure parking,' 'Residents benefit from secured parking,' 'Covered and secure parking,' and 'parking stall is on the ground floor and secured behind a remote control gate.' This language appears across many different listings and agents, strongly supporting that the garage/parking area has secured entry rather than being open-access.

Searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', and similar phrases and found no references. Given repeated statements that stalls come with units or are available, there is no evidence of a waitlist; set to false with medium-low confidence.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit terms like 'key card', 'fob', 'card reader', or 'electronic access'. While secure entry/secured building is repeatedly mentioned, there is no explicit indication of card/fob-based access.
No analysis available
I searched for wording indicating a security patrol or roving security service and found none. The building lists an onsite/resident manager and secured access, but no patrol service is described.

MLS checkbox data indicates 17 of 20 listings include ACWIUN and the remarks repeatedly confirm window air conditioners: multiple listings state "window AC", one notes a "Friedrich AC unit," and another says "2 window AC just been replaced." Evidence is strong and consistent across many agent remarks rather than isolated mentions, supporting that some units in the building have window AC units.
Current MLS data unanimously (20/20 listings) indicates concrete construction for this building. While the public remarks do not explicitly say “concrete,” the consistent checkbox data across all listings for this high-rise Waikiki condo strongly supports that it is a concrete building.

No public remarks (0 mentions) reference 'masonry', 'stucco', or 'masonry and stucco'. MLS material codes include MASSTU in 2/20 listings, but the absence of any supporting description across many agent remarks suggests these checkbox entries are inconsistent/copy-paste and masonry/stucco construction is not supported by the remarks.
No public remarks (0 mentions) reference 'steel frame' or similar. MLS material codes show STEFRA in 1/20 current listings, but with no corroborating agent remarks across the many listings this appears to be isolated/likely copy-paste. Given absent historical confidence and no supporting remarks, steel-frame construction is unlikely.

No public remarks (0 mentions) reference 'above ground' construction or similar phrasing. MLS codes show ABOGRO in 2/20 listings, but with zero corroborating agent remarks across the multiple listings reviewed, the evidence for above-ground construction is weak and likely a checkbox inconsistency.

Several listings state a 30-day minimum rental term (e.g., 'min 30 days allowed'), which indicates short-term rentals (typical <30-day STRs) are not permitted. Set to false with high confidence.
No public remarks reference a hotel rental pool or hotel-managed rental program. Because STRs are disallowed (30-day minimum), hotel pool participation cannot apply and is false with high confidence.
No remarks indicate any mandatory participation in a rental/hotel pool and STRs are not permitted (30-day minimum). Therefore mandatory pool participation is false with high confidence.

Searched for phrases such as 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold', or specific expiry years and found no references. Because there is no indication the property is leasehold, and no expiry year is stated, value is unknown (null).
Searched all remarks for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans' and found none. In absence of explicit language indicating VA approval, set to false with medium confidence.
Several listings explicitly state comprehensive building insurance and 100% hurricane coverage, indicating walls-in/full building insurance carried by the HOA. Marked true with high confidence.
No analysis available
Searched remarks for terms like 'fire life safety evaluation', 'FLSE', 'passed fire inspection', and related phrases; none were found. With no evidence in remarks and no current true value, set to false with medium confidence.

Multiple listings' public remarks explicitly mention the Ala Wai Golf Course or 'golf course'—phrases include 'Ala Wai Golf Course', 'golf course', and 'Ala Wai Canal/golf course'. This confirmation across numerous independent remarks supports the historical High confidence that the building offers golf course views; evidence appears consistent across agents rather than a single copy-paste entry.
Multiple listings (well over half of the remarks provided) describe direct views of the Ala Wai Canal, often as a primary selling point (e.g., 'Ala Wai Canal/golf course', 'canal and mountain view'). Combined with MARCAN being selected in the MLS for several units, this strongly supports that the building offers marina/canal-type views from many units. Buyers seeking marina/canal views would clearly be interested in this building.
Across all the supplied remarks, agents repeatedly describe mountain, canal, golf course, Diamond Head, and occasional ocean views, but never mention sunrise views or morning sun. With only 2/20 MLS entries selecting SUNRIS and no textual support, those few checkboxes are likely generic or erroneous. As a result, sunrise views are not treated as a building-level feature here.

Multiple listings explicitly reference a resident or on-site manager, including phrases like 'onsite manager,' 'friendly onsite manager,' 'resident manager' and 'on-site manager' in the amenity descriptions. Combined with 13 of 20 MLS entries checking the resident manager amenity, this provides strong, building-wide evidence for an on-site/resident manager. The consistency and specificity across several different remarks suggest this is a genuine, established building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
