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.

Reviewed all public remarks for explicit owner-occupancy statements or numeric percentages and found none. Several remarks discuss AOAO fee interest acquisitions and fee-status but not owner-occupancy. Per rules, the existing numeric value (40.00) is kept with low confidence and noted that there is no evidence in the remarks to confirm or contradict it.
Public remarks contain multiple references to elevators and proximity to elevators, confirming the building has elevator service. No remark explicitly states the number of elevators, so the existing numeric value (4) is retained per rules against guessing, with moderately high confidence because elevator presence is confirmed but the count is not documented in remarks.
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, corroborated evidence: roughly 16 of 20 MLS records flag central AC included and many remarks directly state "Central A/C is included" or list "Central AC" among maintenance inclusions (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes Central AC", "Central AC included"). Consistent across multiple listings and agents.
Strong building-level evidence: 17 of 20 MLS records show cable included and many remarks explicitly state "basic cable" or "Cable TV" is included in the maintenance fee (e.g., "Wi-Fi and basic cable are included in the maintenance fee", "Maintenance fee covers ... basic cable"). Multiple agents consistently list it, indicating a building-wide inclusion rather than isolated copy/paste errors.
Implied building-level inclusion: 8 of 20 MLS records have OTCOEX checked and multiple remarks state maintenance covers "other common expenses" or "common area expenses" (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes ... other common expenses", "other common expenses"). Evidence is consistent but often implied, so confidence is moderate.

Not included: across the listing corpus agents consistently list other utilities (water, sewer, hot water, cable, AC) as included, while virtually none of the public remarks mention gas as covered. Historical review concluded gas is not covered; current remarks do not provide evidence to the contrary.
Well-supported: at least 14 of 20 MLS entries list hot water included and numerous remarks explicitly say "hot water" is covered by the maintenance fee (e.g., "Maintenance fee covers Wi‑Fi, basic cable, hot water, sewer, and AC chiller"). A small minority (2 listings) note WTRHTR (water heater), suggesting a few units have private heaters, but the overall building-level evidence strongly supports hot water being included.
Strong evidence from current remarks: at least 16 listings explicitly reference internet/Wi‑Fi included in maintenance (e.g., "WiFi and basic cable are included", "Maintenance fee includes Internet"). Repeated phrasing across listings points to a building-wide amenity included in the fee.
No analysis available
Strong building-level support: approximately 17 of 20 MLS entries list sewer as included and multiple remarks explicitly state "sewer" is covered by the maintenance fee, with consistent reporting across many agents.
Well corroborated: about 18 of 20 MLS records indicate water is included and many remarks explicitly state "Water" is covered by the maintenance fee. Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents.
Consistent evidence: 18/20 MLS listings include BBQ and many remarks mention 'BBQ area', 'BBQ deck', or '8 BBQ stations'. Mentions are widespread across listings and agents, indicating a building-level shared BBQ/grilling amenity.

Across many detailed and repeated amenity lists, no listing mentions a clubhouse or community center. Given the absence of any 'clubhouse' language in remarks and the almost universal omission of the CLUHOU checkbox, it is very likely this building has no dedicated clubhouse.
No analysis available
Remarks emphasize location, pool, decks, gym, BBQ, and similar amenities but never reference a dog park or pet exercise area. The sparse MLS checkbox usage and complete lack of textual support indicate the building allows pets but does not offer a dedicated dog park.
No analysis available
Strong, repeated evidence: 18/20 MLS listings list exercise/fitness rooms and the public remarks frequently state 'fitness center', 'gym', or 'exercise rooms' (e.g., '2 exercise rooms', 'exercise room', 'fitness center'), appearing across multiple agents and listings rather than isolated copy/paste.
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.
Historic MLS checkbox data indicated 19/20 listings included patio/deck amenities. Current remarks confirm the feature across the corpus—the majority of listings explicitly mention 'lanai', 'covered lanai', 'enclosed lanai', or 'open lanai' (e.g., 'spacious covered lanai', 'enclosed lanai', 'open lanai'). Evidence is consistent across many agents' remarks (likely copied among listings) and collectively provides strong support that the building offers patio/deck amenities.

Moderately strong evidence: 11/20 MLS listings include recreation area and many remarks reference a shared recreation/sundeck or expansive sun deck (e.g., 'recreation/sunning area & whirlpool', 'expansive recreation deck'), supporting inclusion as a common building amenity.
Evidence is mostly of an outdoor, communal recreation/sunning deck referenced repeatedly (though not clearly an indoor 'rec room'). Current remarks and historic listings reference 'recreation/sunning area', 'recreation deck', and 'large sundeck' across multiple listings; this indicates shared recreation space (primarily outdoor) available to residents.
Several listings note ground-floor commercial spaces and eateries—phrases include 'commercial spaces on ground floors', 'its own business/shopping mall on the 1st level, with a McDonalds', and 'restaurants located on the ground floor'. This indicates on-site dining/restaurant presence in the building complex.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: 15/20 MLS listings include sauna and the remarks repeatedly mention 'sauna' across many listings (e.g., 'sauna', 'Men's and Women's saunas'), indicating a building-level sauna amenity.
Multiple MLS entries flag storage or additional storage in the amenities, and one public remark clearly notes, 'Surfboard and bicycle storage available. Storage units available on a wait list basis.' This indicates the building provides shared storage lockers or rooms, likely rentable or assignable subject to availability. Although only one agent describes it in detail, that explicit statement plus the amenity checkboxes support including storage_unit as a building feature.
Several public remarks directly confirm dedicated surfboard/board storage (and bike storage) in the building. Because this is explicitly mentioned in the remarks, the feature is marked true with high confidence.
No analysis available
MLS checkbox data: 19/20 listings indicate a trash/garbage chute, but public remarks rarely reference it. Because checkbox coverage is near-universal, it's included as a building feature for buyers, though confidence is moderate since the amenity is rarely described in remarks.

Clear, repeated evidence: 17/20 MLS listings include whirlpool/hot tub and many remarks explicitly state 'whirlpool', 'hot tub', 'jacuzzi' or 'spa' (e.g., 'large jacuzzi', 'heated whirlpool'), showing the building provides this shared amenity.
Strong, consistent evidence that Discovery Bay has a pool: 20/20 current MLS listings include pool amenities and numerous public remarks state phrases like "swimming pool", "heated pool", "heated swimming pool", "hot tub/whirlpool" and "pool deck". The references appear across many different listings and agents (not limited to a single copy/paste), indicating the building offers a shared/resort-style pool amenity.
Evidence supports that the building's pool is heated: multiple public remarks explicitly state "heated pool" or "heated swimming pool" (appearing in many of the unit listings), and historical summaries also note multiple listings advertising a heated pool. Although only a subset of MLS checkbox fields currently show HEAPOO, the repeated, consistent remarks from different agents provide strong corroboration that the pool is heated.
I searched listings for explicit phrases indicating a salt water pool (e.g., 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool') and found no mention. The remarks repeatedly reference a heated/sparkling pool or jacuzzi but do not specify pool type or salt-water system.
All 20 current MLS listings for this building list washer/dryer as inclusions and numerous public remarks explicitly state in-unit laundry—phrases include "in-unit washer/dryer", "washer/dryer in unit", and "W/D in the unit". The consistency of these explicit mentions across many listings and agents provides strong building-level evidence that some units offer in-unit laundry, so include the feature for buyers searching for it.
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for terms indicating paid common laundry (coin laundry, coin-op, quarters, card operated) and found none. Listings repeatedly note in-unit washer/dryers and building amenities, but do not describe paid community laundry.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found no references. Many listings emphasize in-unit washer/dryer, but there is no indication of community laundry facilities on every floor.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that Discovery Bay offers assigned parking: 19 of 20 MLS records list assigned parking and numerous public remarks explicitly state phrases like "assigned parking", "one assigned parking stall", and "Assigned parking 7-133". Mentions appear across many different listings/agents (not isolated), indicating this is a consistent building-level feature rather than a single copy-paste error.
Clear evidence that Discovery Bay has covered parking: 17 of 20 MLS records include covered/garage parking codes and many remarks explicitly say "covered parking" or "assigned covered parking stall" and reference the secure garage. These mentions are widespread across listings and agents, supporting inclusion of covered parking as a building feature.
I reviewed every remark for language suggesting deeded/owned parking (e.g., 'deeded parking', 'parking included in deed', 'owned stall'). Many listings state 'assigned' or 'assigned covered parking stall' (and 'secure/covered parking included'), but none explicitly indicate parking is deeded/owned, so there is no evidence that parking is deeded.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for explicit resident parking charges (terms such as 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', '$/month for parking', 'parking rental'). While many units note an assigned or included parking stall and some remarks reference 'pay guest parking', there are no explicit per-unit parking fee amounts or stated ongoing parking rental fees in the provided remarks.
Some listings mention guest/visitor parking (e.g., "Pay guest parking is available"), and a few MLS records previously checked the guest parking box (3/20). Evidence is present but limited in scope across the many listings, so guest parking exists but appears to be available only in some form and not universally.
Multiple agent remarks reference security tied to parking and building access—phrases include "secured parking", "covered and secured parking space", "secured garage", and "secured lobby & elevator". Combined with historical MLS checks, this supports that parking/garage access has secured entry features for residents.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for phrases like 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list for parking', or instructions to 'join waitlist for parking' and found none. The remarks mention storage wait lists in one place, but there is no evidence of a parking waitlist system in the provided listings.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit key-card/fob access language and found none. The public remarks do describe secured entry, locked lobby, intercom, video monitoring, 24-hour security and security guards/resident manager, which indicates security measures are present, but there is no explicit evidence of a card/fob electronic access system.
High-confidence evidence that Discovery Bay provides on-site security: 19/20 current MLS listings include the SECGUA amenity and many remarks explicitly state phrases like '24-hour security', '24/7 security', and 'security guard' (e.g., '24-hour security', 'security guards', 'secured entry with 24-hour security'). The references are widespread across multiple agents and listings rather than isolated mentions, supporting inclusion of this feature.
Public remarks repeatedly highlight round-the-clock security staff, security guards, and resident manager presence. These repeated, explicit mentions support a high-confidence conclusion that the building has security patrol/guard services.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence the building has central air: MLS checkbox history shows ACCEN/CENAC on the majority of listings (15/20 unit_features; 19/20 inclusions), and current public remarks across many listings repeatedly state 'central A/C' or 'central AC' (e.g., 'Central A/C', 'Maintenance fee includes Central AC', 'AC chiller'). Mentions appear across multiple agents/listings rather than being isolated, supporting inclusion of this building-level feature.
No analysis available

MLS data strongly indicates concrete construction: 17 of 20 current listings list 'CONCRE' as a construction material. None of the public remarks explicitly describe construction materials (no 'steel frame' or 'concrete slab' mentions), and multiple agents consistently list concrete in the MLS checkboxes, suggesting strong building-level evidence for concrete construction.
Some MLS records (6 of 20) indicate 'double wall' construction, but public remarks across the listings do not reference or confirm double-wall construction. Evidence is limited and may reflect copy/paste checkbox entries by agents; include as a possible feature with moderate (implied) confidence.

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.

Discovery Bay is consistently described as a high-rise with 'two 40-story towers,' 'high floor' units (up to at least the 40th floor), and a recreation deck connecting the towers, all of which confirm above-ground construction. MLS data continues to show 8 of 20 listings with ABOGRO checked for construction materials, matching the prior high-confidence assessment. Multiple independent listings reference floors in the 30s and 40s, reinforcing that the structure is an above-ground tower.

Public remarks repeatedly specify a 30-day minimum rental requirement and describe suitability for '30-day rentals' or longer. Per definitions, a 30-day minimum means short-term rentals are not allowed.
Because the building requires a 30-day minimum (STR not allowed) this feature must be false. Additionally, searches for 'hotel rental pool' or similar found no evidence in the remarks.
Given STR is disallowed, mandatory hotel-rental-pool cannot apply. No listings mention a mandatory rental pool or required participation; some listings note flexible/owner use and 30-day minimum rentals.

Public remarks consistently reference the ground/master lease expiration as December 31, 2039 across many listings; use 2039 as the lease expiry year.
I searched all public remarks for phrases indicating VA loan approval (e.g., 'VA approved', 'VA financing', 'VA loans accepted') and found no references. Therefore there is no evidence in the provided remarks that the building is VA loan approved.
Multiple listings explicitly reference comprehensive building insurance (walls-in/hurricane coverage). Representative quotes include 'this building is 100% covered for hurricane insurance' and 'Full Hurricane Insurance.' Based on these explicit public remarks, marked as true with high confidence.
No analysis available
Searched all public remarks for 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', 'passed fire inspection', 'life safety compliant', and related phrases. No evidence was found in the remarks; in absence of any mention and no current value provided, this boolean is set to false with medium confidence (absence likely indicates not publicly stated).
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Multiple current listings repeatedly advertise ocean or ocean-facing views (e.g., “ocean view”, “panoramic ocean views”, “ocean-facing -11 stack”, “180 degree ocean views”), appearing across many agents' remarks. Evidence is strong and consistent across numerous listings, indicating the building does offer ocean-view units.
Dozens of listings describe mountain views, including 'stunning city, canal and mountain views', 'mountain and Diamond Head views', 'beautiful mountain views', and 'STUNNING MAUKA & DIAMOND HEAD VIEWS'. Both corner and mountain-side stacks highlight mauka and mountain/canal vistas across various floors and agents, confirming that Discovery Bay offers units with significant mountain views. The consistency over many years and listings strongly outweighs the absence of the structured MLS 'mountain' tag.
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.
Dozens of listings mention city or skyline views (phrases like “city views”, “city skyline”, “city and mountain views”), appearing across multiple unit advertisements. The prevalence and consistency of these references indicates the building offers city-view units.
Multiple listings describe ocean/harbor/magic island/shoreline-oriented views and phrases implying coastal/shoreline vistas (e.g., “ocean and harbor views”, “front-row views of the Pacific Ocean and Ala Wai”), suggesting the building offers coastline views from some orientations. The support is more implied across listings, so confidence is moderate.
A listing describing an extra-spacious 1-bedroom notes an 'Extra large living and dining area with view of pool and garden', implying an outlook over landscaped common space. Even though fewer agents emphasize this compared to ocean/city/mountain views, it confirms that Discovery Bay includes units with garden/pool-courtyard style views.
No analysis available
Numerous listings explicitly note marina/harbor/Ala Wai Yacht Harbor or canal views (e.g., “Ala Wai Yacht Harbor”, “yacht harbor views”, “harbor and canal views”), repeated across many agent remarks. Strong, consistent evidence confirms the building has marina/harbor-view units.
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.
Many listings reference sunset and evening views (e.g., “sunset views”, “breathtaking sunset view”, “enjoy evening sunsets”, “catch the sunset from your couch”), appearing repeatedly across different unit listings. The repeated explicit mentions provide strong evidence that some units offer sunset views.
No analysis available
Several public remarks explicitly describe viewing Friday night fireworks from the unit or living room, establishing that fireworks views from the building exist. Multiple listings corroborate this feature, so confidence is high.
No analysis available
Confidence 80%: None of the remarks use the specific neighborhood names 'Hobron' or 'ENA'.
No analysis available
Strong evidence across many current listings (16/20 in MLS data) and historically (≈15/20) indicates the building has a resident/on-site manager. Public remarks repeatedly include phrases such as "resident manager", "on-site manager", "on-site management", and "resident management" across listings from multiple agents, showing consistent building-level claims rather than isolated copy‑paste errors.
