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.

The remarks contain individual unit references to owners, second homes, and owner-occupants, but none establish the percentage of owner-occupied units in the building. The current verified value of 40.00% is retained because no explicit building-wide percentage was found to confirm or deny it.
The public remarks confirm that the building has elevators, with references such as "parking stall ... close to the elevators" and "secured lobby & elevator." No explicit count, such as "4 elevators" or "four elevators," was found, so the current value of 4 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.
Central air inclusion is strongly supported by 16 of 20 current MLS listings. Repeated remarks state "Maintenance fee covers central AC," "AC chiller" is included, or "MAINTENANCE FEE includes Central AC," providing confirmation from multiple listings.
Cable inclusion is strongly confirmed across the building, with 18 of 20 current listings carrying the CABTV inclusion code. Multiple agents explicitly state "WiFi and basic cable are included" or "Dues include: Hot water, TV Cable and Internet," although some wording appears copied from standard building remarks.
Common-area expense inclusion is supported by 13 of 20 current listings and repeated explicit language. Key phrases include "other common expenses" and "common area expenses," indicating the feature is a standard building-level inclusion rather than an isolated unit claim.
No analysis available
Multiple listings (at least ~10 separate remark blocks) explicitly state maintenance fees include central AC, hot water or an AC chiller (e.g., "Maintenance fee includes central AC, hot water, cable, internet"; "AC and hot water paid thru MF"). Historical MLS checkbox evidence was sparse (2/20), but current agent remarks across many listings consistently imply that electricity for HVAC/hot water is covered by the association fees. Evidence is implied rather than repeatedly using the exact phrase 'electricity included,' so confidence is moderate (0.75).
Gas inclusion is weakly supported in the current material. The only repeated gas references concern BBQ grills, not gas included in maintenance fees; however, the prior high-confidence building record and two current GAS checkboxes do not meet the required threshold to confidently reverse the value.
Hot water inclusion is strongly established by 16 of 20 current MLS listings. Multiple remarks say "hot water paid thru MF," "Dues include: Hot water," or "Maintenance fee covers ... hot water"; the isolated WTRHTR entry is outweighed by the prevailing MLS data and repeated remarks.
Internet inclusion is nearly universal in the current data, appearing in 18 of 20 listings. Repeated statements such as "WiFi and basic cable are included" and "Dues include: Hot water, TV Cable and Internet" confirm the feature across multiple agents.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is nearly universal, with 19 of 20 current listings carrying the SEWER code. Multiple remarks state that maintenance fees include "sewer, water, hot water" or list "Sewer" alongside the other standard building inclusions.
Water inclusion is strongly established by 19 of 20 current listings. Public remarks repeatedly list "water" in the maintenance-fee inclusions, including detailed statements such as "Maintenance fee includes ... Water, Sewer, other common expenses."
At least 30 listings explicitly identify BBQ facilities, including "BBQ area," "BBQ patio," "gas BBQ grills," "BBQ deck," and "8 BBQ stations." The feature is repeatedly confirmed across multiple agents and specific amenity descriptions, consistent with the 18/20 current MLS entries.

No analysis available
There is no substantive public-remark evidence for car wash facilities at this building. The MLS checkbox signal is weak and likely reflects copy/paste errors rather than a real amenity.
There is no strong public-remark evidence of a clubhouse at Discovery Bay. The listings consistently describe resort-style amenities such as pool, fitness room, sauna, whirlpool, and BBQ areas, but not a clubhouse or community center. The low MLS frequency also suggests this checkbox is likely unreliable or erroneous.
No analysis available
I do not see meaningful public-remark support for a dog park or dedicated pet area. The listings only reference pets generally in a few cases, which is not enough to confirm a dog park amenity, and the MLS signal is too weak to trust.
Doorman service is not supported by the provided remarks. Across the listings, the building is repeatedly described with security-related staffing—"security guards," "resident manager," and "secured entry"—but not as having a doorman or lobby attendant. The current MLS data also shows only 1/20 listings with DOORMA, which is not enough to overcome the repeated negative evidence.
At least 30 listings explicitly mention an exercise facility, with repeated phrases such as "fitness center," "workout room," "gym," "weight room," and "2 exercise rooms." The evidence is strong across many listings and agents, although some wording is repeated, and it aligns with the 20/20 current MLS amenity entries.
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.
Patio/deck amenities are overwhelmingly supported across the building: 17 of 20 current listings include PATDEC/COVPAT, and many remarks from multiple listings describe shared outdoor areas such as the 'very large deck,' 'BBQ patio,' 'sun deck,' 'recreation deck,' and 'pool deck.' The repeated references to common pool, BBQ, recreation, and sunning decks across different agents strongly indicate a legitimate building amenity rather than isolated or copied unit-specific claims.

The building's shared recreation amenity is repeatedly described as a "recreation deck," "large recreation area," "recreation/sunning area," or similar sun deck. Although it is checked in fewer MLS listings than some other amenities, the repeated explicit remarks across multiple listings establish that it exists.
Public remarks do not provide clear evidence of a dedicated recreation room. Most mentions are of a 'recreation deck,' 'recreation area,' or 'sunning area,' which is different from a true rec room. Historical MLS support is only medium, so this remains weak/uncertain.
Approximately 10 listings explicitly mention restaurants or dining facilities within or immediately on the building grounds, including "restaurants located on the ground floor," "ground-floor eateries," and "a McDonalds and other restaurants." Although some listings also refer to nearby dining, the repeated references to ground-floor commercial spaces establish that the building offers on-site dining access.
No analysis available
Sauna facilities are confirmed across many listings, including references to "sauna," "dry heat sauna," and separate men's and women's saunas. The repeated detailed descriptions across agents strongly support a common building amenity.
Storage is clearly supported across many Discovery Bay listings, with several explicit references to building storage such as “bike & surfboard storage,” “storage rooms,” and “storage units available on a wait list basis.” This appears consistently across multiple agents and unit types rather than a one-off copy/paste error, so buyers can reasonably expect storage/locker options in the building.
Multiple listings explicitly confirm surfboard or board storage, sometimes alongside bicycle storage. This is direct and repeated evidence that the building provides surfboard storage.
No analysis available
No public remarks explicitly use the phrases "trash chute," "garbage chute," or "refuse chute." Nevertheless, the feature is marked in 20/20 current MLS listings and was previously assessed with high confidence, so it remains included despite the lack of descriptive remark-level confirmation.
No analysis available

The remarks repeatedly confirm this feature through terms including “whirlpool,” “hot tub,” “jacuzzi,” “hot tub spa,” and “heated whirlpool.” The consistency across numerous listings and the 19/20 MLS presence provide very strong evidence.
At least 20 current listings mention the building’s pool or related pool deck, with consistent descriptions including “heated swimming pool,” “sparkling pool,” and “11th-floor heated pool.” The evidence is strong across multiple agents and aligns with the historical high-confidence record and 20/20 current MLS amenity selections.
Heated pool is explicitly mentioned in many current remarks, including phrases like 'heated pool,' 'heated swimming pool,' and 'spacious heated whirlpool' alongside the pool amenity. The evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents, making this a reliable building-level feature.
A building pool is repeatedly documented, including heated pools, but its water type is never identified as salt water. No evidence supports the salt-water pool feature.
At least 19 of 20 current listings include washer/dryer in the MLS inclusions, and many public remarks explicitly confirm in-unit laundry. Repeated descriptions across numerous listings and agents—including “washer and dryer are conveniently located inside the unit,” “full-size in-unit washer/dryer,” and “stacked washer/dryer”—strongly support this building feature.
No analysis available
The remarks primarily reference in-unit laundry and do not describe a shared laundry facility requiring payment. No evidence supports paid community laundry.
The remarks frequently describe in-unit washers and dryers, but do not identify community laundry facilities available on every floor. No explicit evidence supports this feature.
Parking is clearly present throughout the building. Many listings explicitly mention "assigned parking stall," "covered parking," "garage parking," or "parking space," and the current MLS data shows parking features on all 20/20 listings. This is strong, repeated evidence across multiple remarks and listings.
Assigned parking is strongly established: 17 of 20 current listings mark ASSIGN in parking_features, while many remarks independently state “1 assigned parking stall,” “one assigned parking space,” or identify specific assigned stalls. The evidence appears across numerous listings and agents, not merely a single copied description, so the building should be treated as offering assigned/reserved parking.
Covered parking is strongly supported across the building: at least 17 of 20 current listings carry covered/garage parking codes, with many separate agent remarks explicitly describing covered, secured, or garage parking. The repeated confirmations across numerous listings and agents indicate a building-level feature rather than a single listing's copy-paste error.
Many listings mention assigned or included parking, such as “1 assigned parking stall” and “parking included,” but these descriptions do not prove deeded ownership. No explicit language such as “deeded parking,” “owned parking,” or “parking stall included in deed” was found.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for parking-fee language, including monthly parking charges, parking rental, and additional parking costs. Although some listings mention assigned, covered, optional, or pay guest parking, none states a recurring fee for the unit’s parking.
Guest parking has limited but credible support at Discovery Bay. The current MLS data shows only a minority of listings checking GUEST (4/20), but a public remark explicitly says 'Pay guest parking is available,' which supports the feature without making it look universal.
Secured-entry parking is well supported at Discovery Bay. Multiple remarks reference 'secured entry,' 'secured building,' 'secured lobby,' and 'secured covered parking,' suggesting the parking area and building access are protected rather than open. The consistency across many listings indicates this is not just checkbox noise and should be treated as a real building feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for “parking waitlist,” “parking waiting list,” and similar terminology. No parking waitlist was found, while one listing specifically refers only to a storage waitlist.
No analysis available
The building clearly has general security measures, including secured entry and staffed security. However, secured entry alone does not establish card or fob access, and no card-specific system is mentioned.
Security guard service is overwhelmingly confirmed across the building: well over 20 listings explicitly mention “security guard,” “security guards,” “24/7 security,” “private guards,” or “security personnel.” The repeated descriptions across many listings and the 20/20 current MLS amenity selections indicate strong building-level evidence rather than a single copied remark.
The listings provide strong evidence of guards, secured entry, and continuous security coverage. However, they do not state that guards perform patrol service, so security patrol is not supported.
No analysis available
Numerous listings across multiple agents explicitly describe central air, including "central A/C," "central air conditioning," and "central AC," with several stating that maintenance fees include Central AC or an AC chiller. The evidence is strong and consistent across the building, supported by 17/20 unit-feature records and 20/20 inclusion records, so this appears to be a building-wide feature rather than isolated copy-paste.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported by the current MLS data: 19 of 20 listings identify CONCRE as the construction material. The public remarks do not commonly state the construction type, but they consistently describe the same established high-rise Discovery Bay building across many listings and contain no evidence of a change in construction.
Five of 20 current MLS listings identify DOUWAL, supporting double-wall construction at the MLS-data level. No public remarks mention 'double wall,' 'double-wall construction,' or 'two walls,' so the evidence is less robust and may partly reflect copied checkbox data.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Three of 20 current MLS listings identify STEFRA in the construction materials, while public remarks provide no explicit confirmation. The feature is retained because the historical assessment was high confidence, but the current checklist support is limited and may reflect inconsistent agent data.
Only one of 20 current listings identifies SLAB, and none of the public remarks mention a concrete slab or solid concrete foundation. Despite the sparse current checklist evidence, the prior assessment was high confidence, so the feature is retained pending stronger contradictory evidence.

No analysis available
The remarks strongly and repeatedly describe Discovery Bay as a high-rise / tower building with high-floor units, including references to "two 40-story towers," "11th-floor recreation deck," and many units on upper floors. Across many listings, the above-ground nature of the building is implied consistently by multiple agents rather than by isolated copy-paste language. Current MLS data (5/20 ABOGRO) does not undermine that support.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings consistently describe a 30-day minimum rental period. Under the feature rules, a 30-day minimum means short-term rental is not allowed, even though longer-term or monthly rentals are permitted.
The remarks mention nearby hotels, resort-style amenities, and the Hilton Hawaiian Village, but do not describe participation in a hotel rental pool. Because short-term rentals are not allowed, this feature must also be false.
The listings contain no language such as “mandatory hotel pool,” “required to participate,” or “must be in a rental program.” Since STR is not allowed, mandatory hotel-pool participation must also be false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The listings consistently identify December 31, 2039 as the expiration date for the remaining leasehold interest. References to fee-simple purchases or AOAO acquisition before that date do not provide a later lease expiration, so 2039 is used.
The remarks were searched for explicit VA-related language, including “VA approved,” “VA financing,” and “VA loans accepted.” None of these terms or equivalent statements were found. This does not definitively establish that VA financing is unavailable, but there is no public-remarks evidence supporting approval.
The public remarks repeatedly and explicitly describe full or 100% hurricane insurance coverage. This is strong, consistent evidence that the building is fully insured, supporting a high-confidence true value.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly mention security, secured entry, security guards, resident managers, and building maintenance, but these do not establish FLSE passage. No qualifying phrases such as "fire life safety evaluation passed," "FLSE passed," or "passed fire inspection" were found, so this is false with medium-low confidence under the no-evidence rule.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Ocean views are strongly supported by 12 of 20 current MLS listings, with many detailed remarks describing direct, panoramic, ocean-facing, harbor, marina, and sunset views. The evidence spans numerous stacks and towers and is reinforced by repeated unit-specific descriptions, not merely generic copy-paste language.
Mountain views are strongly confirmed across the building: 11 of 20 current MLS listings include the mountain-view designation, and many remarks independently quote 'mountain views,' 'mauka,' or 'Koolau mountains.' The feature appears across multiple stacks and towers rather than being limited to one unit, supporting very high confidence.
Diamond Head views are confirmed by multiple listings and detailed remarks, including direct references to 'Diamond Head,' 'Diamond Head to Koko Head,' and 'Diamond Head and sunrise view.' Although only 3 of 20 current MLS records carry the checkbox designation, the explicit remarks across different high-floor and corner units establish that the building offers Diamond Head-view residences.
City views are very strongly supported: 18 of 20 current MLS listings include CITY, and numerous remarks from multiple agents describe 'city views,' 'city skyline views,' 'sweeping city vistas,' and panoramic Honolulu views. The evidence is broad across unit orientations and stacks, so this is a confirmed building-level offering.
Coastline views are supported by 5 of 20 current listings and remarks such as “panoramic coastal and ocean views,” “panoramic coastal views of Honolulu’s South Shore,” and “views of the Pacific Ocean ... and beyond.” The evidence comes from multiple high-floor and corner units, confirming that the building offers coastline-view residences.
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
Marina and harbor views are well supported by 9 of 20 current listings and repeated descriptions such as “Ala Wai Marina views,” “ocean, yacht harbor and sunset views,” and “panoramic yacht harbor, canal, and mountain views.” The feature is available in multiple stacks and is not limited to a single listing.
Sunrise views are supported by 4 of 20 current listings, including remarks stating “morning sun,” “from sunrise to sunset,” “sunrise coffee,” and “Diamond Head and sunrise view.” This appears to be orientation-dependent and available in some units, which is sufficient for the building-level feature.
Sunset views are strongly supported by 7 of 20 listings, with phrases including “stunning ... sunset views,” “enjoy the sunset,” “breathtaking ocean & sunset views,” and “catch the sunset from your couch.” Evidence is distributed across multiple units and view orientations.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state that Friday night fireworks are visible from inside units, including directly from the living room. This clearly satisfies the requirement for a fireworks view from the building.
No analysis available
Confidence 80%: None of the remarks use the specific neighborhood names 'Hobron' or 'ENA'.
No analysis available
More than 15 current listings mention or clearly describe building management, including numerous explicit references to “resident manager,” “on-site resident manager,” and “long term resident manager.” The evidence is consistent across many different remarks and confirms that Discovery Bay has resident/on-site management.
