Canal House
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.

County records and the state registration both report 24 floors, and listings reach floor 24 with strong agreement between floor fields and unit numbers. No penthouse listings are available, but the listing evidence supports the recorded height.
The county parcel record reports 144 residential units, matching the state registration's authoritative total. The parcel contains one structure and the registration covers one building, so these figures apply to this record.
Owner occupancy from AOUO registration(s) 651. Refreshed by Real_Estate_Scraper/reb_registry/propagate_owner_occupancy.py, which this lock does not block.
I searched for explicit counts such as "2 elevators," "4 elevators," "four elevators," or "multiple elevators." The remarks only include a general reference to "elevators" and provide no number confirming or contradicting the current value, so the current value of 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.
The evidence points to individual unit air-conditioning, not central AC: remarks consistently reference window ACs, a Friedrich unit, or newly replaced AC units inside the condo. Since only 1/20 listings currently show ACCEN and there are no remarks describing building-wide central air service, this feature should be treated as absent.
At least 12 listings explicitly mention cable, basic cable, or cable TV as included, with phrases such as "cable TV included," "basic cable," and "includes electricity, water, sewer, hot water, cable TV." The evidence is repeated across multiple listing descriptions and confirms the historically high-confidence feature.
Approximately 8 listings explicitly mention "common expenses," "common area expenses," or "all common area maintenance" in the fee inclusions. This consistent building-level language supports the medium historical confidence and current 13/20 MLS rate, despite some listings omitting the detail.
No analysis available
More than 15 listings mention electricity directly, including "the $975 fee includes ALL utilities: ELECTRICITY" and "maintenance fees include electricity." This is exceptionally strong, consistent evidence across the listings and matches the prior high-confidence conclusion.
No analysis available
At least 8 listings explicitly mention hot water as included, including "maintenance fee includes hot water, water, electricity and basic cable" and "everything is included ... hot water." The absence of WTRHTR and repeated descriptions across multiple listings strongly support this feature.
One listing specifically says the fee covers "electricity, water, sewer, Wi-Fi, cable TV," which is direct evidence of included internet service. Other listings may omit internet while listing only selected utilities, so confidence is moderate rather than as high as for electricity, water, or cable.
No analysis available
At least 10 listings directly state that sewer is included, commonly in phrases such as "electricity, water, sewer, hot water, cable TV" and "maintenance fees cover electricity, water, sewer." The current checkbox data and repeated remarks provide strong, multi-listing confirmation.
More than 12 listings mention water directly, including "the fee includes ... water" and "electricity, cable, water, sewer ... included in the monthly maintenance fees." This repeated evidence from multiple listing descriptions confirms the historically high-confidence feature.
BBQ/grilling appears to be an available building amenity based on current MLS data, with 14 of 20 listings checking the BBQ box. The public remarks do not explicitly mention BBQ, so this looks like checkbox-based evidence rather than repeated descriptive confirmation.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Car wash is supported, but only weakly to moderately. I found explicit wording in the remarks once ('even a car wash area'), while the MLS checkbox appears in 8 of 20 listings, suggesting a real amenity that may be inconsistently copied into the data. The evidence looks limited to a few agents rather than being broadly repeated.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Dog park/pet area is well supported across the remarks, with many listings explicitly saying 'dog park,' 'pet friendly dog park,' 'rare private dog park,' or describing an 'outdoor path to walk their dogs.' The repeated language across multiple agents, plus the current MLS DGPRK checkbox appearing in 8 of 20 listings, makes this a strong building feature.

I found no public remarks describing a recreation area, recreation deck, or recreation space, and the current MLS data shows the RECARE checkbox in only 2 of 20 listings. That level of sparse support suggests the feature is likely not a real shared amenity, or it is being copied inconsistently by agents.

Sauna is repeatedly confirmed across the remarks, including phrases such as "swimming pool, sauna," "pool, sauna, and surfboard/kayak storage," and "pool area with sauna." The evidence is widespread across many listings and multiple apparent listing agents, strongly confirming it as a building amenity.
No analysis available
Surfboard storage is repeatedly identified as a Canal House amenity across the remarks. Several listings also describe combined bike, kayak, or surfboard storage.
No provided listing remarks mention a tennis court, private tennis court, or tennis facilities. Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings includes TENCOU, suggesting an isolated checkbox or copy-paste error rather than a confirmed building amenity.
Trash chute is not explicitly described in the provided public remarks. However, 18 of 20 current listings identify TRACHU, consistent with the previously high-confidence building record; although checkbox copy-paste is possible, the breadth of the current data supports that the building has a trash chute system.

The pool is explicitly mentioned in well over 18 listings, including repeated descriptions of an "onsite swimming pool," "circular swimming pool," "pool deck," and a pool included in the maintenance fee. Evidence is strong across numerous listings and consistently identifies it as a Canal House building amenity, not merely a copied checkbox.
No analysis available
A swimming pool is consistently confirmed as a building amenity. The public remarks do not specify the pool's water type, so there is no evidence of a saltwater pool.
At least 19 of 20 current listings include washer/dryer data, and numerous remarks from multiple listings and agents explicitly describe in-unit laundry. Key phrases include "in-unit washer and dryer," "full-size washer and dryer," "in-unit stacked washer/dryer," and "stack washer-dryer," providing strong cross-listing confirmation rather than a single copied remark.
No analysis available
Listings emphasize in-unit laundry and provide no references to shared laundry payment methods such as coins, quarters, cards, or laundry fees. There is no evidence of paid community laundry.
The remarks consistently mention in-unit washers and dryers, but do not describe community laundry facilities on every floor. No explicit shared laundry amenity was found.
Parking is strongly supported across the building. Multiple listings explicitly mention "parking stall," "covered parking," "secured parking," "tandem parking," and "parking structure," and the current MLS data shows parking features in 20/20 listings. This looks like consistent building-level data rather than a one-off agent error.
Assigned/reserved parking is well supported, with 13 of 20 current MLS records marked ASSIGN. Remarks across many listings reinforce this with phrases like "premium secured parking stall," "best stall in the condo," and "two parking stalls," indicating specific or designated parking rather than general open parking. The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listing descriptions.
At least 12 listings explicitly describe covered or garage-like parking, with key phrases including "your own covered parking," "secured parking stall ... covered," and "1 covered Parking Stall #422." The evidence is strong across many listings and agents, not limited to a single copied remark.
Parking is repeatedly associated with the units, including tandem stalls and statements that a large parking stall comes with the unit. However, the remarks do not explicitly establish that the parking is deeded, so deeded status cannot be confirmed.
No analysis available
The remarks mention HOA or maintenance fees such as $975 and $935.89 per month, but do not identify any additional charge specifically for parking. Therefore, no parking fee is evidenced.
No analysis available
Numerous listings confirm secured parking or entry, including "Residents enjoy secure parking," "parking stall ... secured behind a remote control gate," and "covered and secure parking." The repeated references across multiple listings and agents strongly support this building-level feature.
At least three listings explicitly mention tandem parking, including tandem stalls accommodating two cars and two premium covered/gated tandem spaces. Although it is available only for some units, the repeated detailed references show that the building offers tandem parking.
No analysis available
The listings consistently describe secured, covered, assigned, and tandem parking. None mention a parking waitlist or limited parking allocation system.
No analysis available
The listings characterize the building and parking as secure. No specific card- or fob-based access technology is identified.
No analysis available
The remarks mention general security, secured entry, and an onsite or resident manager. They do not identify a security patrol service or roving guard.
No analysis available
No listing remarks explicitly describe central air conditioning, forced air, HVAC, or fan-coil service for the building. Instead, the remarks repeatedly describe window AC, Friedrich AC, or generic in-unit AC, which supports unit-level cooling rather than building-wide central air. With 0/20 current unit_features showing central AC and no corroborating remarks, central AC is not supported.
No analysis available
Window AC is strongly validated across the building: at least 12 current listings explicitly mention window AC, AC units, or air conditioning, while 17 of 20 current listings include ACWIUN. Multiple agents describe one or two window units in bedrooms and living areas, including newly replaced or newly installed units, so this is not merely unsupported checkbox copy-paste.
18 of 20 current listings report CONCRE as the construction material, while 19 of 20 historical listings did the same. Although the provided remarks generally emphasize amenities, renovations, insurance, and utilities rather than construction type, the repeated agreement across numerous listings and agents makes the concrete construction evidence very strong.
There is no remark-level evidence for double wall construction. With only 4 of 20 listings checked in MLS and no descriptive support from agents, this looks like inconsistent checkbox data rather than a verified building characteristic.
No analysis available
There are no public-remarks mentions of masonry or stucco in the multiple Canal House listings reviewed. Because only 2/20 current listings show MASSTU, this looks like inconsistent MLS coding rather than a confirmed building-wide construction type.
No public remarks reference steel frame, steel frame construction, or similar wording across the listing set. With only 2/20 current listings showing STEFRA and no corroboration from agents' descriptions, the evidence is too weak to treat this as a building feature.

Above-ground construction is supported by current MLS data in 6 of 20 listings and was previously assessed with high confidence. Public remarks do not explicitly use the phrases "above ground construction" or "above ground materials," but the continued presence of the designation and lack of contradictory remarks support keeping it.
Brick construction is not supported by the remarks and appears to be an isolated MLS checkbox entry. Only 1 of 20 listings shows BRICK, while the rest do not, so this should be treated as not a building feature.
No analysis available
The remarks establish a 30-day minimum rental period, which means short-term rentals are not allowed under the supplied rules. References to mid-term rentals and investor use do not override the explicit 30-day minimum.
No remarks refer to a hotel rental pool, hotel rental program, or management by a hotel. Because short-term rental eligibility is not met, this feature must also be false.
The listings provide no evidence that owners must participate in a hotel rental pool. The 30-day minimum rental rule also prevents this feature from being true under the prerequisite rules.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks do not identify the property as leasehold or provide a ground-lease expiration date. No specific four-digit lease-expiry year can be extracted.
The remarks were searched for explicit references to VA approval or VA financing, but none were found. A general reference to buyer financing falling through does not establish VA eligibility.
The remarks repeatedly and explicitly confirm comprehensive building insurance coverage. Statements such as "building is fully insured" and "100% hurricane coverage" provide strong evidence that the HOA fully insures the building.
No analysis available
I searched for phrases including "fire life safety evaluation passed," "FLSE passed," "fire safety certified," "life safety compliant," and "passed fire inspection." None were found; the reference to a fully upgraded fire system is not sufficient evidence of a passed FLSE, so this is treated as false with medium-low confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Mountain views are mentioned in 17 of 20 listings, including “sweeping panoramic views of the mountains,” “Koolau Mountains,” “Ko'olau mountain range,” and “unobstructed panoramic mountain views.” The repeated detailed descriptions across many listings indicate a strong, genuine building feature rather than simple checkbox copying.
No analysis available
City views appear in 4 of 20 listings, with phrases such as “beautiful canal, mountain, and city views,” “sparkling city lights,” and “twinkling of Honolulu city lights.” The feature is unit- and orientation-dependent but is sufficiently confirmed to include for buyers seeking city views.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Golf course views appear in 16 of 20 listings, with repeated phrases including “Ala Wai Golf Course,” “sweeping panoramic views ... of the Golf Course,” and “unobstructed views of the ... golf course.” The evidence is strong across multiple agents and confirms that some units offer this view.
Canal or marina-type views are mentioned in 18 of 20 listings, including “Ala Wai Canal,” “breathtaking views of the Ala Wai Canal,” and “magnificent canal ... views.” The consistency and specificity across numerous listings strongly validate this building-level view offering.
Sunrise is indicated in 7 of 20 current MLS records, but the public remarks primarily discuss mountain, canal, golf course, city-light, and sunset views rather than explicitly mentioning sunrise or eastern exposure. Because historical confidence was High and the MLS signal is present, the feature is retained with limited confidence pending direct confirmation.
No analysis available
There are no remarks describing cemetery views, overlooking a cemetery, or views of a cemetery. With only a single MLS mention and no supporting text evidence, this appears to be an incorrect or irrelevant checkbox.
The remarks describe mountain, canal, golf course, Diamond Head, ocean, city, rainbow, and greenery views. None states that fireworks can be viewed from a unit or the building.

At least 9 listings explicitly mention an on-site or resident manager, including phrases such as “friendly onsite manager,” “onsite manager,” and “resident manager.” The repeated wording appears across multiple listings and is supported by the building’s historically high confidence and current RESMAN checkbox presence, so this is strong building-level evidence rather than an isolated likely copy-paste error.
