Franklin Towers
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.
Franklin Towers
Building Overview
Franklin Towers in Aliamanu-Salt Lake; concrete building (1982) with ocean and Diamond Head views, pool and on-site management.
About Franklin Towers
Based on MLS data, Franklin Towers is located in the Aliamanu–Salt Lake neighborhood and was built in 1982. The building is constructed of concrete and is served by two elevators. Size information (unit square footage or number of units) is not provided in the available records.
According to available records, amenities include a pool, BBQ area, a resident manager, and a security guard. Units may offer split air conditioning and a range of views noted in the MLS including ocean, mountain, Diamond Head, and sunset views.
Additional details from the MLS indicate covered, assigned parking is available with guest parking provided. Pets and short-term rentals are not allowed. The management company is listed as unknown in the MLS data. Buyers should verify all building details, rules, and fees with the listing agent or management, as this summary is based solely on the MLS information provided.

I searched for numeric owner-occupancy percentages and phrases such as majority owner occupied or highly owner occupied. Nothing relevant was mentioned, so the owner-occupancy percentage remains unknown.
Public remarks repeatedly confirm that Franklin Towers has two elevators. This matches the current value of 2 and the building context.

Sixteen of 20 listings identify CABTV as included in the association fee. No public remarks explicitly say “cable included,” so the evidence appears primarily checkbox-based and may reflect copied MLS data, but the current majority supports inclusion.
17 of 20 current MLS listings list OTCOEX (common area electric) in association fee fields. Remarks repeatedly describe resort-style shared amenities (pool, spa, lighting, elevators) across many agent listings, consistent with common-area electricity being covered by maintenance. Evidence is strong across multiple listings and aligns with historical MLS data.
No analysis available
Historical data previously indicated electricity was included in the association fee (high confidence). In the current set only 1 of 20 listings has ELECTR checked and no public remarks state 'electricity included' or 'power included', suggesting recent agent checkbox changes or inconsistencies. Because historical evidence is strong but current remarks do not confirm the feature, the feature is retained with moderate confidence (0.75) pending direct owner/manager verification.
No analysis available
Only 1 of 20 listings checks HOTWAT, while 12 of 20 list WTRHTR (water heater) and remarks explicitly state a 'tankless water heater' and that units now have individual water shut-off valves following building repiping. This strongly indicates hot water is provided by in-unit heaters and not included in the HOA maintenance fees.
13 of 20 MLS listings list INTSER in association fee fields, but public remarks across all listings contain no mention of 'internet included,' 'wifi included,' or bundled internet service. Given medium historical confidence and the absence of any agent remarks describing internet as included, evidence is weak-to-moderate and implies internet inclusion is unlikely.
No analysis available
Nineteen of 20 listings list SEWER as included in association fees. Multiple remarks confirm building-wide repiping and plumbing upgrades, although they do not directly quote “sewer included”; the strong MLS consensus and prior high confidence support the feature.
All 20 listings identify WATER as included in association fees. Several remarks reference the building’s plumbing upgrade, completed sections of repiping, and individual unit shut-off valves, providing consistent supporting context alongside unanimous MLS data.
Approximately 15 or more of the 20 listings explicitly mention BBQ facilities, including phrases such as "several BBQ bays," "BBQ areas," "communal area," and "barbecue cabanas." The references appear across multiple listing descriptions and consistently describe a shared building amenity, strongly confirming the feature.

Negative evidence: Although MLS checkboxes show car wash on some listings (6/20), none of the public remarks mention 'car wash', 'auto wash', or 'vehicle wash area'. Given the absence of any remark-level corroboration and the likelihood of checkbox copy/paste, there is high confidence that a building-level car wash does not exist.
Limited evidence: A 'club house' is explicitly mentioned in at least one public remark and MLS flags clubhouse on 4 of 20 listings. Because only a few listings reference it and wording is inconsistent across agents, inclusion is appropriate but confidence is modest.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: A dedicated dog park is called out across numerous listings (at least ~14-18 of 20) with phrases like 'dog park', 'doggie park', and 'natural doggy park'. MLS strongly flags the amenity and many independent agent remarks corroborate it, so confidence is high.
Only 2 of 20 MLS listings include the DOORMA amenity, and none of the multiple public remarks across listings use the terms 'doorman', 'door attendant', or 'lobby attendant'. Listings consistently mention '24-hour security', 'security guard', or 'secured/secured entry' but never an actual doorman; given the lack of explicit mentions and low checkbox prevalence, the evidence suggests the building does not have a doorman and the checkbox entries are likely agent errors.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong evidence: A meeting room is explicitly referenced in the public remarks (e.g., 'meeting room') and MLS lists this amenity on several listings. Given prior high confidence plus explicit mention(s) in the remarks, this building-level amenity is included with high confidence.
No analysis available
A walking/jogging path is explicitly mentioned in about 1–2 listings ('walking/jogging path'). Given MLS checkbox prevalence but sparse remarks, include the feature with moderate confidence as evidence is limited and may reflect copy/paste in some listings.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong evidence: Putting green is explicitly mentioned in many remarks (around 9-12 listings) with phrases such as 'putting green' and 'practice putting green', and MLS marks the amenity on a majority of listings. The combination of historical data and explicit agent remarks supports inclusion with high confidence.
Moderate evidence: Recreation or recreation-style spaces are mentioned in several remarks (examples include 'recreation space' and general 'resort-style amenities' references) and MLS marks RECARE on 15 of 20 listings. While multiple agents reference general recreation amenities, specific descriptions vary, so confidence is moderate.

Zero of the 20 public remarks mention a sauna, steam room, dry sauna, or wet sauna, while the descriptions repeatedly list other amenities such as pools, jacuzzis, BBQs, tennis courts, and dog parks. The current MLS checkbox is therefore not supported by the building-level narrative evidence and is likely an agent data error.
Although only 1/20 listings currently have the storage checkbox, multiple public remarks mention building storage — notably several references to "bike storage" and at least one saying "ample storage." MLS checkbox data is sparse and may be inconsistently applied, but repeated mentions across different listings indicate the building likely offers storage/lockers.
Several remarks identify bike storage as an amenity, but none identify storage for surfboards or boards. No evidence supports surfboard storage.
Strong evidence: Tennis courts are explicitly mentioned in many listings (at least ~15-17 of 20) with phrases such as 'tennis court', 'tennis & pickleball court', and 'tennis courts'. MLS shows the amenity on all 20 listings and multiple agents independently cite it, indicating a building-level tennis facility.
Zero of the 20 public remarks reference a trash chute system. The feature is checked on many current listings, but this conflicts with the prior low-confidence assessment and lacks any narrative confirmation, so it should be omitted as an unreliable MLS checkbox.

Many listings independently identify the amenity with phrases including "2 jacuzzis," "pool, jacuzzi," "relaxing spa," "whirlpool," and "whirlpool tub." The repeated references across multiple agents and unit descriptions strongly confirm that the building offers a shared whirlpool/spa amenity.
The pool is strongly validated across the listings: at least 19 of 20 provided remarks explicitly mention a pool or swimming pool, often alongside detailed descriptions such as "swimming pool with 2 jacuzzis," "kiddie pool," or "pool on property." This aligns with the current MLS data showing pool-related amenities in all 20/20 listings and confirms it is a shared Franklin Towers amenity rather than isolated copy-paste.
No analysis available
The building clearly has pool amenities, consistent with the building context, but there is no evidence that the pool is saltwater. Generic pool references do not establish this feature.
In-unit laundry is strongly validated across the building: at least 7 current remarks explicitly mention an in-unit, stacked, new, or front-load washer/dryer. This aligns with the historical MLS evidence that 19 of 20 listings include washer/dryer, and the repeated specific descriptions across multiple listings indicate the feature is genuine rather than a single copied checkbox.
No analysis available
The listings repeatedly reference in-unit washers and dryers rather than shared laundry. No evidence was found that community laundry requires payment.
The remarks describe in-unit washers and dryers in multiple listings, but do not describe community laundry facilities on every floor. No explicit evidence supports this feature.
Parking is strongly confirmed across the building: all 20 MLS listings include a parking-related feature and none indicate no parking. Remarks from multiple listings explicitly cite phrases such as "2 assigned parking," "two covered parking stalls," "secured parking garage," and "ample guest parking," demonstrating consistent evidence across agents.
Strong evidence across listings that units include assigned stalls: about 16 of 20 MLS entries indicate ASSIGN and many remarks explicitly state '2 assigned parking', 'two assigned, side-by-side'. Mentions appear across multiple agent remarks (not isolated), supporting a building-level offering of assigned parking.
Covered parking is very strongly confirmed: 19 of 20 current MLS listings identify covered or garage parking, consistent with the previously High-confidence conclusion. Multiple remarks explicitly state "assigned covered parking," "two covered parking stalls in a secure parking garage," "TWO COVERED PARKING spaces," and "1 covered secured parking," across several listings.
Multiple listings describe assigned or dedicated covered parking stalls, including two assigned stalls and secured parking. However, none explicitly say the stalls are deeded, owned, or included in the unit deed.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for parking fees, monthly parking charges, additional parking costs, and parking rental language. No parking fee amount or separate parking charge was stated.
Strong evidence: 13 of 20 current MLS entries include GUEST in parking features and several remarks explicitly reference "ample guest parking" or "guest parking." The mentions appear across multiple listings and agents, supporting that the building offers guest parking.
Solid evidence for secured parking/entry: approximately 12 of 20 MLS entries show SECENT and numerous remarks explicitly say 'secured gated community', 'secure parking garage', or 'secured entry'. The consistency of these phrases across listings supports marking this feature true.

The remarks were searched for parking waitlists, waiting lists, and instructions to join a list. No parking waitlist system was mentioned.
No analysis available
The listings repeatedly describe secured parking, a secured gated community, and building security, but none identify a card or fob access system. No explicit evidence supports this feature.
Strong evidence the building provides on-site security: historical MLS checkboxes indicated SECGUA on 18 of 20 listings, and the current agent remarks repeatedly state '24-hour security', 'round-the-clock security', 'security guard', and 'secured parking/secured gated community' across multiple listings (at least a dozen remarks explicitly mention security). The evidence is consistent across different agent remarks and aligns with the prior high-confidence MLS data.
Repeated remarks establish ongoing staffed building security and security guard presence. Although the exact phrase 'security patrol' is not used, the repeated 24-hour security and guard references strongly support active security service.
No analysis available
No listings mention central air; 0/20 MLS unit_features checkboxes for ACCEN/CENAC and only 1/20 inclusions ever referenced ACCEN. Multiple remarks (several listings) explicitly state "split A/C" or "new split A/C system in Nov 2024" and "split AC's," e.g., "This unit features a split A/C system with a unit in each room" and "new split A/C system in Nov 2024." Evidence consistently points to individual split units, not building-wide central air.
10 of 20 current MLS listings have the ACSPL inclusion checked and at least seven separate public-remarks entries explicitly reference split/mini-split/ductless systems (quotes include 'new split A/C system in Nov 2024' and 'split A/C system with a unit in each room'). Mentions appear across multiple listings/agents rather than being limited to a single copy-paste, indicating the building offers units with split AC.
No analysis available
Construction material is recorded as CONCRE in all 20 of 20 current listings, providing strong, consistent evidence across the building's MLS records. The remarks do not specifically use phrases such as “concrete construction,” but there is no contrary evidence and the historical confidence is high.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Four of 20 current MLS listings include MASSTU in construction_materials, but none of the public remarks mention 'masonry' or 'stucco'. The small number of MLS flags and absence from remarks suggest this may be an inconsistent checkbox entry by some agents rather than a building-wide characteristic, so confidence remains low.

Eight of 20 current MLS listings include construction_materials = ABOGRO, but public remarks (0/20) do not mention 'above ground' construction; historical confidence was Low, so this is weak/implied evidence and may reflect inconsistent agent checkbox usage or partial unit-level reporting.

The remarks were searched for short-term rental, vacation rental, STR, NUC, TVU, rental minimum, and owner-occupancy language. None of these were mentioned, so the public remarks provide no evidence that short-term rentals are allowed.
No references to a hotel rental pool, hotel rental program, hotel management, or branded hotel pool were found. Because short-term-rental permission is not established, this feature is false under the prerequisite rule.
The remarks were searched for mandatory rental pool, required participation, inability to opt out, and similar language. No such statement was found, and the lack of established STR permission requires this feature to be false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for leasehold language, ground lease references, lease expiration, renewal, and four-digit expiry years. No specific lease expiry year or renewal date was found.
The remarks were searched for explicit references such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted." None were found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that the building is VA approved.
I searched for references to fully insured coverage, full insurance, comprehensive building insurance, and walls-in coverage. No such statements were found in the public remarks.
No public remarks across the supplied listings (0 of ~20) mention 'fire sprinkler', 'sprinkler system', or similar. Although the MLS FIRSPR amenity is checked in 10 of 20 current listings, the remarks provide no supporting language and likely reflect inconsistent agent checkbox use rather than confirmed building features. Without explicit remarks (e.g., 'sprinklers installed in 2025') or broad consistent MLS confirmation, there is insufficient evidence to include fire sprinklers as a confirmed building feature.
I searched the remarks for fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire inspection, fire safety certification, and life-safety compliance language. None of these were mentioned, so there is no public-remark evidence that the evaluation passed.

Mountain views are strongly supported across the building: 18 of 20 current listings contain MOUNTA in the view descriptions, and numerous remarks explicitly mention "lush mountains," "mountain views," or "majestic mountains." The evidence appears consistently across multiple listings and agents, not merely as an isolated checkbox or copy-paste claim.

Evidence that the building offers coastline/ocean views: several listing remarks mention "ocean views", "Pacific ocean", "peek-a-boo ocean", and even "coastline" (appearing in the penthouse remark), with around 8–10 remarks referring to ocean/coastline. While only 1/20 structured view_descriptions currently list COASTL, the repeated explicit mentions in public remarks indicate some units provide coastline views.
At least 7 listings explicitly reference garden-related features or views, with phrases like "garden", "community garden", "lush gardens" and "garden areas." Though MLS view checkbox shows none, repeated remarks across listings provide sufficient evidence that garden views/landscaped garden areas exist at the building level.
Clear evidence the building offers golf course views: CURRENT MLS DATA shows GOLCOU in 7/20 view_descriptions and numerous remarks explicitly cite "Honolulu Country Club Golf Course" and "golf course." Multiple agents/units reference these views, confirming it as a building feature.
No analysis available
Multiple public remarks across listings explicitly mention sunrise/morning sun (phrases like "Wake up to golden sunrises" and "morning sun"), supporting that some units/buildings offer sunrise views even though view_descriptions show SUNRIS in 2/20 entries.
Multiple listings explicitly reference sunsets and evening views (phrases like "toast to vibrant island sunsets" and "unforgettable sunsets"), and CURRENT MLS DATA includes SUNSET in 3/20 entries, indicating that some units in the building offer sunset views.
No analysis available
The remarks mention golf course, ocean, mountain, city, skyline, sunrise, and sunset views. No qualifying fireworks-from-the-unit view was found.

No public remarks in the provided listings (0 of ~20) mention a resident or on-site manager. Although RESMAN is checked in many current listings (15 of 20), the public remarks repeatedly emphasize amenities (pool, security guard, parking) but do not state a live-in manager. Given the lack of explicit remarks and potential for checkbox copy/paste, there is not enough evidence to confirm a resident manager on-site.
