Hale Ka Lae
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.

I searched all public remarks for explicit owner-occupancy figures or descriptors indicating percent owner-occupied (phrases like '80% owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied', 'highly owner occupied'). The remarks do not provide any owner-occupancy percentage or clear descriptor to infer a value, so owner-occupancy cannot be determined from these remarks.
I searched all public remarks for explicit elevator counts (phrases such as '4 elevators', 'four elevators', or 'multiple elevators'). The remarks mention 'elevators' or storage 'next to the elevators' in several places, confirming their presence but no numeric count is provided. Because there is no explicit number, I will not guess a count.

MLS data indicates 16 of 20 listings have OTCOEX checked (agents commonly check this box). No public remarks explicitly state 'common area electricity' or 'building power included'. Evidence is therefore implied from multiple MLS listings across agents rather than explicit mention in the remarks.

No listings mark HOTWAT in association fees and many listings (12/20) list WTRHTR (in-unit water heater). Remarks include references to an in-unit water heater (e.g., 'Water Heater') and 'Water is billed back monthly per usage', supporting that building-supplied hot water is not included in the maintenance fee.

Public remarks explicitly list a separate sewer charge ('Sewer fee monthly (may slightly vary) $65.67'), and remarks elsewhere describe utilities billed back, indicating sewer is not included in the HOA maintenance fee despite a few MLS checkboxes.
Remarks clearly state 'Water is billed back monthly per usage' and other listings reference in-unit water heater; this indicates water is not included in the maintenance fee despite a couple MLS checkboxes indicating otherwise.
Strong evidence: roughly 15–18 listings mention BBQ amenities using explicit terms such as "BBQ cabanas," "BBQ area(s)," "BBQ pavilions," and "barbecue grills." Mentions appear across multiple agent remarks (not limited to a single listing), indicating a building-level shared amenity rather than isolated copy/paste error.

One detailed amenity list includes a "club room" together with a business center, meeting room, and other shared facilities, which corresponds closely to a clubhouse/community room function. MLS CLUHOU selections plus this explicit reference support that the building offers a clubhouse-style common room usable by residents.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: about 12–15 listings reference dog amenities with explicit phrases like "dog park," "gated dog run," "dog spa," "dog grooming room," and "pet relief area." Mentions occur across many listings and agents, indicating a building-level pet area/dog park.
No analysis available
Strong evidence across many listings: at least 15 listings reference an on-site gym or fitness center with phrases like "fitness center", "fitness room", or "exercise room." Multiple agents independently list this as a building amenity, indicating it is a building-level feature rather than copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
Strong evidence: roughly 14–16 listings explicitly reference meeting or conference rooms with phrases such as "meeting rooms," "meeting/business room," and "meeting spaces." These consistent, repeated mentions across listings indicate a bona fide building amenity.
Multiple unit remarks explicitly describe private outdoor spaces: phrases include 'private yard and open lanai', 'outdoor courtyard with direct access to the Great Lawn, and a porch', 'comes with an outdoor deck', and 'private and spacious STORAGE ROOM...ground floor 3 bed...come with an outdoor deck and a yard.' Five of 20 MLS listings have the PATDEC/COVPAT amenity checked and several agents independently mention lanais, yards or decks, indicating the building offers patio/deck amenities for some units.
Little to no evidence in remarks: no listings explicitly state "jogging path" or "walking path" for the building. References are limited to nearby trails or neighborhood access, so on-site jogging path is not supported by the remarks.

Moderate-to-strong evidence: around 6–8 listings mention outdoor recreation spaces using terms like "recreation area," "great lawn," "gated green open space," and "private park/playground." Mentions are consistent across listings, supporting a building-level recreation area.
Solid evidence: about 10–12 listings reference indoor recreation or party rooms with phrases like "rec rooms," "versatile party rooms," "party room with deck," and "multifunctional room." References are repeated across multiple listings and agents, indicating a shared building amenity.

At least 8 separate listings explicitly mention storage units or deeded storage (examples: "27 sq. ft. deeded storage space, #S507", "Large storage unit located on the 10th floor", "Spacious 59 sq. ft. storage unit on the 6th floor", "storage unit (#S205)", "Rarely available storage room near the elevators on the top floor. 48 SF"). Multiple agents reference unit numbers and sizes, indicating building-level availability rather than copy/paste error.
Multiple listings explicitly confirm surfboard/board storage as a building amenity, providing strong evidence that surfboard storage exists in the building.
No analysis available
Implied evidence from MLS: a majority of listings select trash chute as an amenity (14 listings), but none of the public remarks explicitly describe a "trash chute" or "garbage chute." The feature is likely present based on repeated MLS entries, though it is implied rather than directly mentioned.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Strong evidence: many listings explicitly describe a hot tub/whirlpool/jacuzzi in the building (phrases like "hot tub", "whirlpool", "jacuzzi"), often listed together with the pool, indicating a building amenity.
Strong, consistent evidence that the building offers a pool: approximately 16 of 20 current listings/remarks reference pool amenities. Representative phrases include 'salt-water pool', 'large swimming pool', and 'resort-style amenities include saltwater pool, hot tub, BBQ cabanas'. Multiple agents repeatedly list the pool (likely reused agent copy), and this aligns with prior high-confidence MLS checkbox data, so the building-level pool amenity is reliably present.
No analysis available
Several listings explicitly identify the pool as saltwater/salt-water, providing strong evidence the building's pool is a saltwater pool.
Strong evidence that some units have in-unit laundry: MLS inclusion counts show 14 of 20 current listings list washer/dryer, and this set of public remarks contains multiple explicit statements such as "in-unit washer and dryer" and "washer & dryer in the unit" (also "full-size Washer/Dryer"). The language appears across several listings/agents rather than as a single copy-paste, supporting that at least some units in the building offer in-unit laundry.
There is reasonable evidence the building offers shared laundry: 11/20 current MLS listings have the community laundry amenity checked and several remarks reference "additional laundry facilities," "laundry facility," or "Community Landry also in the building." While this is a newer feature without prior history, the prevalence of MLS checks plus explicit remarks supports including community_laundry=true.
Listings reference a community laundry facility but do not indicate it is paid. I searched for terms like 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'paid laundry', 'card operated', 'quarters' and found no evidence.
Public remarks mention community laundry or additional laundry facilities in the building (e.g., 'Community Landry', 'additional laundry facilities'), but there is no explicit language indicating laundry on every floor ('laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', etc.). Searched for floor-by-floor laundry phrasing and found none.
Strong evidence that the building has parking: 18 of 20 current listings have parking_features set (vs 2 marked NONE). Multiple remarks explicitly state parking details such as "2 assigned side-by-side parking stalls", "TWO ASSIGNED COVERED PARKING STALLS", and "Parking, Parking, Parking! Gated and Covered parking stall," plus mentions of guest stalls and motorcycle parking — consistent across many agent remarks rather than isolated copy/paste.
Strong evidence that the building offers assigned parking: at least a dozen remarks explicitly state 'assigned' or 'two assigned parking stalls' and historical MLS data showed 17/20 listings with ASSIGN. Multiple listings by different agents consistently reference assigned stalls, indicating this is a building-level feature rather than isolated copy/paste error.
Multiple current remarks explicitly reference covered parking (phrases like 'secured-covered parking stalls', 'Covered Extra Large parking stall', 'Gated and Covered parking stall') and historical MLS data also indicated covered parking in many listings, providing strong, consistent evidence the building has covered parking.
I looked for language such as 'deeded parking', 'owned parking', or 'parking included in deed' and found none. Instead, parking is repeatedly described as 'assigned' or as Limited Common Elements conveyed by amendment, which indicates parking stalls are not deeded with the unit.
No analysis available
I searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'parking rent', and similar phrasing but found no explicit monthly parking charge in the public remarks. Maintenance/HOA numbers appear but no dedicated parking rental fee was stated.
Evidence for guest parking is moderate: several remarks across different listings mention 'lots of guest parking', 'ample guest parking', and one remark specifies '20 guest stalls'. Although historical MLS flags were present in fewer listings (6/20), the repeated explicit mentions in the public remarks indicate the building does offer guest parking.

I searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', and related phrases and found none. Listings describe assigned stalls and availability of parking sales as Limited Common Elements, but do not mention any waitlist system.
No analysis available
Public remarks explicitly describe card access for parking/secure areas, indicating the presence of a card/fob electronic access system for at least parking and gated areas in the building.
MLS amenity flags show SECGUA on 4 of 20 listings and historical data previously marked security as present, but the public remarks largely omit explicit phrases like 'security guard' or '24-hour security'. Multiple remarks mention 'on-site resident manager' or 'on-site management' and one remark lists 'security' among amenities; evidence is mixed and appears partly due to checkbox usage/copy-paste, so the building is reported as having security guard service with moderate confidence.
Listings emphasize on-site resident manager and a secure gated environment and one mention of 'security', but there is no explicit reference to an active security patrol or roving patrol service. Searched for phrases like 'security patrol', 'roving security' and found none; therefore patrol is not confirmed.

13 of 20 current MLS listings for this building have the ACWIUN (window AC) checkbox checked, supporting that some units have window air conditioners. None of the public remarks explicitly say "window AC", "window unit", or similar, so the support is based on MLS fields (possible agent copy/paste) rather than explicit descriptions in remarks. Confidence is moderate because the feature is present in many checkboxes but lacks explicit confirmation in the listing text.
MLS checkbox data is consistent: 19 of 20 current listings list concrete as a construction material. Public remarks explicitly reference a "solid concrete wall" in at least one listing, and no remarks indicate a different primary construction. Given the strong, building-wide MLS consistency plus corroborating remark, concrete construction is highly likely.

No analysis available
Only 1 of 20 current listings has the MASSTU construction checkbox (low prevalence). No public remarks across the supplied listings mention 'masonry', 'stucco', or 'masonry and stucco'. Evidence to assert the building is masonry + stucco is weak and likely a checkbox inconsistency by agents, so the feature is omitted pending stronger verification (owner/manager/site-visit) or more listings explicitly describing masonry/stucco construction.

I searched for terms like 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', '30-day minimum', 'TVU', and 'STR' and found no explicit allowance for short-term rentals. Many remarks discuss long-term rental or rental income potential, but that does not confirm STR permission.
No evidence of participation in any hotel rental pool or hotel-managed program in the remarks; since STR is not indicated, hotel pool participation is false with high confidence.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'must be in rental program' and found none. Listings describe optional rental/income use, so mandatory pool is false with high confidence.

I searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to', and explicit 4-digit years for lease expiry but found none. Several remarks explicitly call at least one unit 'Fee Simple', indicating ownership of the land rather than a leasehold, so no lease expiry year applies.
Public remarks explicitly state VA approval and VA-assumable financing in multiple listings, supporting high confidence that VA financing is accepted for this building.
I searched remarks for phrases indicating the HOA/building is fully insured (e.g., 'fully insured', 'walls-in coverage', '100% hurricane insured'). Several listings explicitly state the association is fully/100% hurricane insured and fully compliant with hurricane insurance requirements, supporting a high-confidence true.
Strong evidence that Hale Ka Lae has a fire sprinkler system: 14/20 current listings have the FIRSPR amenity checked and numerous agent remarks across listings explicitly reference sprinklers (phrases include 'equipped with fire alarm and sprinklers', 'up-to-date sprinkler system', 'no worries about fire sprinkler system'). The consistency across multiple listings and prior high confidence supports a high-confidence true value.
I searched the remarks for explicit language indicating the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation (examples: 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'passed fire inspection'). While the remarks repeatedly note the presence of fire alarms and sprinkler systems ('fully equipped with a Fire Alarm and sprinkler system', 'up-to-date sprinkler system'), there is no explicit statement that an FLSE was passed. Therefore, FLSE pass is not confirmed in the public remarks.

At least 5–7 listings mention garden/courtyard/landscaped outlooks (quotes include "nice garden view," "outdoor courtyard with direct access to the Great Lawn," "private yard," and references to "lush, gated green space"). Both past high-confidence data and current remarks support that some units enjoy garden views.
No analysis available
Approximately 10–12 listings' remarks explicitly mention marina/waterfront views (e.g., "Enjoy breathtaking views of the marina," "nice views of the Hawaii Kai Marina," "view of the Waterfront, Marina"). Evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks and listing descriptions, indicating the building offers units with marina views despite the MLS MARCAN checkbox being unused.
No analysis available
0 of 20 current listings mention 'SUNSET' in view_descriptions and none of the public remarks use phrases like 'sunset', 'western exposure' or 'evening sun'. Remarks repeatedly note 'views of the marina, Koko Head, mountains, and a hint of the ocean' (e.g., 'Enjoy breathtaking views of the marina, iconic Koko Head...'), but there is no explicit sunset language across listings. Given absent historical confidence and consistent lack of sunset wording in multiple agent remarks, the building should not be listed as having sunset views.
No analysis available
Remarks describe marina, ocean and landmark views (Koko Head, Diamond Head) but do not state the building or units have a fireworks view. I searched for explicit 'fireworks' or similar phrasing and found none.

Multiple current listings explicitly mention on-site/resident management (phrases include 'Resident manager is on-site', 'an on-site resident manager', and 'on-site management ensures...'). Historical MLS checkbox data also indicated RESMAN in several listings (6/20), and the repeated explicit agent remarks across different listings suggest this is a building-level service rather than a single-agent copy/paste error.
