Discovery Bay
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.

Retained the existing owner_occupancy value of 40.00% with low confidence because the public remarks do not state owner-occupancy percentages or similar phrases. I searched for explicit numeric percentages and descriptive phrases and found none.
Kept the current value of 4 elevators with low confidence because none of the provided public remarks explicitly state the number of elevators. I searched the remarks for explicit phrases (e.g., '4 elevators', 'four elevators', 'multiple elevators') and found no matches.
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.
Clear corroboration: 13 of 20 MLS records list central AC in association_fee_includes and multiple agent remarks explicitly state "central AC" or "Central A/C" is covered by the maintenance fee (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes central AC" and "AC chiller"). Evidence is consistent and repeated across listings.
Strong, building-level evidence: 18 of 20 MLS records list CABTV in association_fee_includes and numerous public remarks explicitly state "WiFi and basic cable are included" or "basic cable". Evidence is consistent across many agent remarks (appears in listings for both towers and many unit types), indicating cable is included in the maintenance fee.
Implied building-level inclusion: 11 of 20 MLS records list other/common expenses in association_fee_includes and multiple remarks reference "other common expenses" or "common area expenses" as part of the maintenance fee. Evidence is moderately strong but less explicitly stated than for utilities like water or internet.
No analysis available
Limited evidence that electricity is included: only a couple MLS checkbox entries and very sparse explicit remarks (one reference to "very low electric bill" or implication via AC/hot water paid through MF). Most listings do not state "electricity included," so building-level electricity inclusion is unlikely.
Across dozens of listings for Discovery Bay, maintenance/association fee line items repeatedly mention 'Central AC, Cable, Internet, Hot Water, Water, Sewer' or 'Wi-Fi, basic cable, hot water, sewer, and AC chiller' but no remark states 'gas included' or 'gas in HOA fees'. While 4 of 20 current MLS records have the GAS checkbox set (suggesting some agents checked it), there is no corroborating language in the public remarks — evidence points to isolated checkbox entries rather than a building-level feature. Confidence remains high that gas is not included in maintenance fees.
Strong corroboration: 13 of 20 MLS records include HOTWAT and numerous public remarks explicitly state "hot water" is included in maintenance fees (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes ... hot water"). No remark indicates building uses individual unit water heaters that would contradict this.
Strong building-level signal: 14 of 20 MLS records list internet service in association_fee_includes and numerous agent remarks explicitly say "Wi-Fi" or "Internet" is included. Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence: 19 of 20 MLS records list SEWER and public remarks frequently cite sewer being covered by maintenance fees (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes ... sewer"). The signal is consistent and widespread across listings.
Very strong corroboration: 19 of 20 MLS records list WATER in association_fee_includes and numerous agent remarks explicitly state water is covered by maintenance fees (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes ... water"). The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents.
Well supported: roughly 18 of 20 listings mention BBQ/grilling facilities (key phrases: 'BBQ area', 'BBQ deck', '8 BBQ stations', 'gas grills'). Evidence is repeated across many agents and consistent with MLS checkbox data.

No evidence of a clubhouse: virtually none of the public remarks mention 'clubhouse' or 'community center', and historical reviews of amenity lists show no clubhouse references. Strong evidence supports setting this feature to false.
No analysis available
No listings explicitly mention a dog park, dog run, or dedicated pet exercise area (0/ many public remarks). Two listings reference pets generally (e.g., "Pet Friendly Bldg." and "2 cats allowed"), but there are zero explicit phrases like "dog park" or "dog run." The DGPRK checkbox appears in only 2/20 MLS entries and likely reflects copy/paste errors rather than a true shared amenity, so evidence does not support including a dog park for this building.
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence: ~19 of 20 listings reference building fitness/exercise rooms (phrases include 'fitness center', '2 exercise rooms', 'exercise room', 'gym'). Mentions appear across multiple agent remarks and confirm the historical MLS checkbox data, indicating a building-level shared amenity.
No analysis available
Listings consistently advertise pool, spa, fitness, sauna, BBQ and sun/recreation decks but do not mention any 'meeting room' or 'conference room' in public remarks. Given the absence in remarks across dozens of listings, there's high confidence the building does not offer a dedicated meeting/conference room.
Strong evidence that the building offers patios/decks: 17 of 20 current MLS listings have the PATDEC/COVPAT amenity and numerous remarks explicitly mention 'lanai' (often 'enclosed lanai' or 'covered lanai'), 'open lanai', 'sun deck', 'recreation deck' and 'BBQ area'. Phrases quoted from remarks include 'spacious lanai', 'enclosed lanai', 'covered lanai', and 'BBQ patio', appearing across many different listings and agents, indicating the feature is real and consistently advertised.

Moderately strong evidence: about a dozen-plus listings mention shared recreation or sundecks (phrases include 'recreation deck', 'sundeck', 'recreation/sunning area'), indicating a communal recreation amenity available to residents.
Limited evidence: only a few listings (≈2–4) check or mention 'rec room' explicitly; many more refer to outdoor 'recreation/sun deck' or 'recreation area'. Because some MLS listings still indicate RECROO and a small number of remarks reference recreation spaces, this feature is included but with moderate (implied) confidence.
Moderate evidence: roughly 7–9 listings reference on-site/ground-floor commercial/dining (quotes: 'commercial shops on ground floors', 'McDonalds' and 'restaurants located on the ground floor'). The evidence indicates some form of on-site dining/retail presence but fewer explicit mentions than other amenities.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: around 15–18 listings explicitly mention 'sauna' (examples: 'sauna', 'Men's and Women's saunas'), with consistent references across agent remarks and MLS checkbox data.
Multiple MLS entries (3/20) list storage in amenities and one listing has STORAG in unit_features, and at least one public remark explicitly says “Surfboard and bicycle storage available. Storage units available on a wait list basis.” This explicit public-remark confirmation plus repeated MLS checkbox entries across listings gives strong evidence the building offers storage lockers/units.
Multiple listings (including a specific line noting 'Surfboard and bicycle storage available. Storage units available on a wait list basis.') directly confirm the availability of surfboard/board storage, supporting a high-confidence true.
No analysis available
MLS-wide checkbox support indicates trash chute is listed for all 20 current listings, but public remarks do not mention 'trash chute' or similar. This yields implied support (MLS metadata) without explicit agent/remarks confirmation, so confidence is moderate.

Clear repeated evidence: about 15–18 listings mention whirlpool/hot tub/jacuzzi (phrases include 'whirlpool', 'hot tub', 'jacuzzi', 'spa', 'large jacuzzi'), consistently referenced by multiple agents and matching MLS checkbox data.
Strong, consistent evidence across the current MLS entries confirms Discovery Bay has a pool: 20/20 MLS listings list pool in amenities and virtually every public-remarks entry mentions "pool", "heated pool", or "resort-style amenities: pool, whirlpool." Phrases quoted include "resort-style amenities: pool, whirlpool" and "heated swimming pool," showing multiple agents repeatedly reference the same shared amenity rather than isolated or ambiguous language.
Multiple listings explicitly mention a heated pool or heated swimming pool (explicit quotes include "Heated swimming pool", "heated pool", "heated pool, BBQ area" and "heated pool and jacuzzi"). At least ~15 separate public-remarks entries across the dataset reference heating for the pool or heated whirlpool, indicating consistent building-level heated-pool amenity.
I searched for terms like 'salt water pool' and 'saltwater' but found none; pool is repeatedly described as heated/sparkling. Because the building context lists pool=True, I kept pool_salt as true with low confidence and noted no explicit mentions in the remarks to confirm salt-water status.
Strong evidence that Discovery Bay units offer in-unit laundry: 20 of 20 current MLS listings list W/D in inclusions and numerous public remarks explicitly state phrases like "in-unit washer and dryer", "in-unit W/D", "washer/dryer in the unit" and even "Bosch front loader washer and dryer." Mentions appear across many different agent remarks (not limited to a single listing), indicating a building-wide availability of in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
I searched for terms such as 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'paid laundry', 'card-operated', and 'laundry fee'. The remarks either describe in-unit washers/dryers or do not reference community laundry payment systems.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry'. No listings mention community laundry on every floor; many listings instead reference in-unit washer/dryers.
All 20 current MLS listings list parking_features (20/20) and numerous public remarks explicitly state parking is provided, with phrases like "assigned parking stall", "one assigned covered parking space", and "covered, assigned parking stall on the same floor as the unit." This evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings (not a single outlier), indicating strong, building-level availability of parking.
Strong evidence that Discovery Bay provides assigned parking: 18 of 20 recent MLS records list assigned parking and numerous agent remarks explicitly state phrases like 'one assigned parking stall', 'assigned covered parking stall', or 'assigned parking space'. Mentions appear across many different listings and agents (not limited to a single copy/paste), supporting high confidence.
Clear evidence the building provides covered parking: 18 of 20 MLS records reference covered/garage parking and many listings explicitly mention 'covered parking', 'covered on-site parking', 'secure garage', or 'assigned covered parking stall'. These repeated, consistent remarks across listings indicate covered parking is a building-level feature.
Many listings describe assigned/covered/secured parking included with units, but none explicitly state parking is deeded or included in the deed. Without explicit 'deeded' language I report false with low confidence.
No analysis available
I searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', and dollar amounts tied to parking; the remarks reference assigned/covered parking and occasional 'pay guest parking' but include no consistent monthly parking fee. Therefore the parking fee is unknown.
Some listings mention guest parking: 6 of 20 MLS checkbox records include GUEST and a few public remarks note 'pay guest parking is available' or similar. Evidence is present but limited to a subset of listings and therefore confidence is moderate.
Multiple listings and agent remarks reference secured access: although 9 of 20 MLS checkboxes list SECENT, numerous public remarks across listings state 'secured entry', 'secured building', 'locked lobby', 'security guards', and '24-hour security', and some units explicitly note 'secure parking' or 'secure garage'. The recurring security/secured-entry language across many agents supports a high confidence that parking/entry is secured.

No analysis available
I searched for 'parking waitlist' and similar phrasing. Although storage/board storage availability on a wait list is mentioned, there is no explicit reference to a parking waitlist in the public remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for 'key card access', 'fob access', 'card reader', and 'keycard' but found no explicit references. The building has multiple security features noted, however there's no explicit evidence of card/fob electronic access in the public remarks.
Historical MLS checkbox data indicated SECGUA in 19 of 20 listings. Current public remarks across the corpus consistently mention building security—key phrases include “24/7 security,” “24-hour security,” “security guard(s),” “security guards,” and “secured entry”—appearing across multiple agents’ listings. Evidence is strong and consistent with historical data, so the building offers on-site security personnel.
Public remarks consistently reference on-site security personnel and round-the-clock security (24-hour/24-7 security, security guards, private guards, resident manager). This provides strong evidence that the building has security patrol/service.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence that Discovery Bay has building-wide central air. CURRENT MLS checkbox data is strongly positive (18/20 ACCEN/CENAC; 19/20 ACCEN in inclusions), and numerous listing remarks explicitly state phrases like 'central AC', 'Central A/C', 'central air', or 'AC chiller' and note maintenance fees include central AC. This language appears consistently across multiple agents and listings rather than being an isolated mention.
No analysis available
No analysis available
MLS checkbox data indicates 17 of 20 current listings list concrete construction (CONCRE). Public remarks across listings do not explicitly say 'concrete' or 'reinforced concrete', but the strong and consistent MLS checkbox signal (previously High confidence) across many agent entries supports marking the building as concrete construction.
Only 4 of 20 MLS records currently check 'double wall' (DOUWAL) and none of the public remarks across the many listings mention 'double wall' or similar phrasing. Given the limited MLS support and absence in remarks, the evidence is weak—this may reflect inconsistent checkbox use rather than a clear building-level double-wall construction feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
A minority of MLS records (4 of 20) list 'STEEL FRAME', but none of the public remarks explicitly mention 'steel frame' or 'steel frame construction.' This weak, checklist-only signal could be accurate for some units or reflect inconsistent agent checkbox usage; confidence is low.
There is minimal checklist evidence (3 of 20 listings) for a concrete slab foundation and no public remarks reference 'concrete slab' or 'solid concrete foundation.' Given the absence of any descriptive confirmation across agent remarks and the low occurrence in MLS checkboxes, slab foundation is unlikely to be a building-level feature.

Multiple listings repeatedly describe Discovery Bay as a high‑rise/tower with many high‑floor units and enclosed lanais (e.g., 'Resolution Tower', 'Endeavor/Endeavour Tower', 'high floor', '40th floor'), and 9 of 20 current MLS records mark ABOGRO. The combination of prior High confidence, frequent public‑remark references to tower/high‑rise character, and MLS checkbox presence provides strong evidence the building is above‑ground (high‑rise) construction.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Public remarks consistently specify a 30-day minimum rental policy across many listings ('Minimum 30-day rentals permitted', 'LEGAL 30-DAY MINIMUM RENTAL'), which means short-term (under 30-day) rentals are not allowed. This gives high confidence that STRs are not permitted.
I searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', or hotel-managed rentals and found none. Because STRs are not allowed, hotel-pool participation is marked false with high confidence.
No remarks indicate any mandatory participation in a hotel rental pool; listings instead reference 30-day minimum rentals. Therefore mandatory pool participation is false with high confidence.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Public remarks repeatedly reference the ground/master lease expiration as December 31, 2039. Use of the explicit date yields a high-confidence year of 2039.
I searched all public remarks for explicit VA loan language ('VA approved', 'VA financing', 'VA loans accepted') and found none. Absence in the remarks leads to a low-confidence false.
Several public remarks explicitly state comprehensive building/hurricane insurance coverage (walls-in/full coverage). Based on these explicit statements, marked as true with high confidence.
No analysis available
There is no evidence in any provided public remarks that the building has passed a fire/life safety evaluation. I searched the remarks for explicit phrases (e.g., 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'passed fire inspection') and found none.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Strong building-level evidence: dozens of current remarks (over 40 listings/remarks) explicitly state "ocean view", "panoramic ocean view", "ocean-facing", or similar phrases (examples: "Panoramic Ocean View", "Ocean View - Beautiful views", "breathtaking ocean views"). Mentions come from multiple agents and many different unit descriptions (high-floor, corner units, stacks), indicating the feature is broadly advertised rather than a single copy/paste error.
Strong, building‑level evidence: numerous listings explicitly mention mountain/mauka/Diamond Head views (examples: "Bedroom has great views of the mountains", "sweeping mountain and city views", "STUNNING MAUKA & DIAMOND HEAD VIEWS"). This appears across multiple agents and many separate listings, indicating the building offers mountain views for buyers seeking that feature.
Several listings call out Diamond Head specifically (e.g., “Diamond Head views”, “Diamond Head side”, “Daimond Head and Ocean Views”), showing that some orientations of the building provide Diamond Head vistas. Multiple independent listings mention it, so the feature is well supported.
City and skyline views are commonly highlighted—dozens of listings reference "city view", "city skyline", or "city" along with mountain and ocean views. Multiple agents and many unit descriptions consistently advertise city-facing orientations, so the building offers city-view units.
Moderate-to-strong evidence: while fewer listings use the exact phrase "coastline," many listings describe ocean/harbor/Magic Island/Ala Moana panoramas and "coastal" or "shoreline"-type vistas. Multiple agents' remarks imply the building offers coastline/shoreline views from various units.
Moderate evidence: a few listings explicitly state "view of pool and garden" or reference pool/recreation deck views, implying outlooks over landscaped/courtyard areas for some units. Mentions are sparse and appear in only a small subset of listings, so inclusion is warranted but with moderate confidence.
No analysis available
Multiple listings (over 30) explicitly reference marina/harbor views or Ala Wai Yacht Harbor (quotes include "Ala Wai Yacht Harbor", "yacht harbor views", "harbor & canal views"). These mentions appear across many unit entries and stacks (high-floor and corner units), indicating marina views are a genuine building-level offering rather than isolated or erroneous checkbox entries.
A smaller but clear set of listings reference sunrise or east-facing aspects (e.g., “sunrise view”, “perfect for sunrise coffee”, “Desirable location with Diamond Head and sunrise view”), indicating some units provide sunrise views. Evidence is present but more limited, so confidence is moderate.
Sunset and evening views are repeatedly mentioned across listings—several units advertise "sunset views", "breathtaking evening sunsets over the water", and references to watching fireworks/sunset from the lanai. The consistent, explicit mentions in many listings indicate the building offers sunset-facing units.
No analysis available
Several listings explicitly advertise Friday night fireworks view from the unit or living room/lanai. This is direct evidence that fireworks are visible from the building units.
No analysis available
Confidence 80%: None of the remarks use the specific neighborhood names 'Hobron' or 'ENA'.
No analysis available
Strong consistent evidence that Discovery Bay has a resident/on-site manager: historical MLS data showed RESMAN in 17 of 20 listings, and the current public remarks repeatedly state 'resident manager', 'resident management', or 'on-site manager' across the listing corpus (appearing in many individual listings). Mentions appear across multiple agents' remarks (e.g., 'resident manager', 'on-site management', 'full-service management'), indicating consistent building-level service rather than a single copy/paste error.
