Hawaiian Monarch
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.
Hawaiian Monarch
Building Overview
Hawaiian Monarch in Waikiki — concrete 1979 building with pool and ocean/mountain views, short-term rentals allowed.
About Hawaiian Monarch
Based on MLS data, Hawaiian Monarch is a concrete high-rise located in Waikiki that was built in 1979. Size details (number of units or floors) are not provided in the available records.
According to available records, the building offers ocean, mountain, and sunset views and includes on-site amenities such as a pool, fitness center, BBQ area, a resident manager, and a security guard. The property is served by six elevators and units use window air conditioning.
Additional MLS-derived details indicate parking is available, pets are not allowed, and short-term rentals are permitted. The management company is listed as unknown in the MLS. Buyers should verify all information, including unit size, fees, policies, and management details, with the listing agent or management prior to making decisions.

I searched all remarks for explicit owner-occupancy information (percentages or descriptive phrases) and found nothing to determine a numeric owner-occupancy. Without an explicit numeric statement in remarks, the owner-occupancy is unknown and cannot be changed or guessed.
Multiple listings explicitly mention the building has six elevators (quote above). This directly confirms the numeric elevator count from public 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.

Cable TV appears in 14 of 20 current MLS entries under association_fee_includes, indicating it is commonly treated as a building‑provided utility. Remarks explicitly state 'All utilities included, free Cable and internet' and 'Low maintenance fee include basic cable and internet,' and others list a recurring 'TV/Internet' fee collected with building charges. Evidence across many listings and agents supports that cable service is included in the building fees.
MLS data shows OTCOEX (other/common area electricity) in 11 of 20 current listings and historically this field had high confidence. Public remarks rarely use the exact phrase 'common area electricity,' suggesting some agent copy-paste of association checkboxes; nevertheless the prevalence across MLS records supports that common-area electricity is included in maintenance fees for this building.
No analysis available
Several listings explicitly state 'Electricity included in maintenance fees' (e.g., 'Electricity included in maintenance fees (subject to usage).' and 'Electricity is included in the Maintenance Fees'), and MLS records also list ELECTR in multiple entries (7/20 currently, historically higher). The explicit remarks across different listings indicate electricity is included.
No analysis available
The MLS data shows HOTWAT included in association fees for 14 of 20 listings, with no units advertising separate water heaters, which strongly implies a central hot water system. At least one remark mentions 'All utilities included,' which in this context aligns with hot water being a building utility. Taken together, this supports that hot water is included in the maintenance fees.
Internet service is marked in the MLS association_fee_includes field for 11 of 20 listings. Multiple public remarks explicitly say 'free Cable and internet' and 'Low maintenance fee include basic cable and internet,' and others break out a TV/Internet charge alongside HOA items. This consistent treatment across many listings indicates internet is provided through and paid with the building fees.
No analysis available
16 of 20 current MLS records have SEWER checked in association fee includes, while public remarks almost never state 'sewer included' (agents more commonly note 'electricity included' or generically 'all utilities'). The prevalence of the MLS checkbox across multiple listings (likely multiple agents) points toward sewer being included in maintenance fees, though explicit mentions in remarks are scarce and may reflect checklist copy/paste.
15 of 20 current MLS records have WATER checked in association fee includes, but public remarks rarely say 'water included' specifically—agents more often mention electricity or 'all utilities' generically. The strong presence of the MLS checkbox across many listings supports including water as part of maintenance fees, though explicit remark confirmation is limited.
Strong evidence: roughly 18 of the listings mention BBQ facilities with phrases such as "BBQ area", "BBQ deck", and "BBQ grills". The references are widespread across different agent remarks and describe common outdoor grilling/picnic amenities for residents/guests.

Strong, consistent evidence: 15+ of the provided listings explicitly mention a fitness center/exercise room (phrases quoted include "fitness center", "exercise room", and "gym"). Multiple agents and many remarks reference the amenity, indicating building-level shared access rather than isolated or unit-specific features.

12/20 MLS entries show PATDEC/COVPAT, and remarks describe a 'giant pool deck,' 'large pool & recreation deck,' 'huge sun deck,' 'outdoor seating deck,' and 'BBQ deck'.

Moderate evidence from multiple listings (about 5–7 remarks) mentioning a shared recreation-related amenity (phrases include 'giant pool deck', 'large pool & recreation deck', 'pool recreation area', 'recreation deck'). While present in fewer listings than gym/BBQ, the explicit mentions across several agent remarks support including a building-level recreation area with medium confidence.
Remarks mention a 'pool recreation deck' and 'recreation area' but never a distinct 'recreation room' despite extensive amenity lists; MLS shows RECROO in only 5/20 entries, suggesting checkbox confusion with the deck.
Consistent evidence: about 15+ listings mention on-site food and dining options using phrases like "restaurants in the lobby", "on-site restaurants and shops", "breakfast and lunch cafe", and "coffee shop". Multiple agent remarks describe these as building amenities available to residents and guests.
No analysis available
Across very extensive amenity descriptions, no listing mentions a sauna or steam room, while they consistently list pool, hot tub/jacuzzi, BBQ, gym, laundry, and restaurants; only 4/20 MLS entries show SAUNA, likely erroneous.
No analysis available
I searched all remarks for terms like 'surfboard', 'board storage', 'surf storage', and 'bike and surfboard storage' and found no references. Absence of mention suggests the building does not advertise dedicated surfboard storage in public remarks.
No analysis available
Mixed evidence: 12 of the MLS entries list a trash chute (historical medium confidence), but 0 of the public remarks explicitly mention "trash chute", "garbage chute", or "refuse chute". Because agents often copy/paste amenities and there is no direct confirmation in remarks, inclusion is conservative with moderate confidence (implied rather than explicitly documented).

Across numerous listings, agents describe 'pool and jacuzzi', 'pool, hot tubs', '2 whirlpools', 'hot tub', and 'jacuzzi' as part of the common recreation deck. These consistent references from different listings, plus WHIRLP being checked in a majority of MLS entries, confirm that the building has shared whirlpool/hot tub facilities.
Strong evidence the building has a pool: 18 of 20 MLS listings have the pool amenity checked and numerous public remarks state amenities such as 'swimming pool', 'giant pool deck', 'resort-style pool', 'sparkling pool' and 'salt water pool'. Mentions appear across multiple agent listings (not limited to a single posting), indicating consistent building-level amenity rather than a one-off error.
No analysis available
Several listings explicitly describe the pool as salt water/salt-water. I searched for 'salt water', 'saltwater', 'salt pool' and located direct mentions.
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence that the building offers shared laundry: current MLS data lists COMLAU on all 20 listings and numerous public remarks explicitly state 'community laundry', 'coin-operated laundry', 'laundry facilities', or 'laundry area' (e.g., 'community laundry', 'coined laundry on 6th floor', 'laundry facilities'). Mentions appear across listings from multiple agents rather than being isolated, so the building-level shared laundry facility is well-supported.
Multiple listings explicitly describe the building's laundry as paid (coin-op or card). I searched for terms such as 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'paid', and 'card' and found several explicit mentions.
Multiple remarks reference 'community laundry' and specific locations (for example: 'coined laundry on the 6th floor'), but there is no statement indicating laundry is available on every floor. I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found none.
Numerous listings explicitly state the Hawaiian Monarch offers on-site parking for a fee or nightly rates—phrases include 'Parking is available for a fee.', 'nightly parking', and 'attached parking garage offers daily parking.' A management note even details garage rates ($50 per 24 hours / $45 for multiple days). Evidence is consistent across many agents' remarks, indicating the building does provide paid parking despite many MLS parking checkboxes being unchecked.
Although 2/20 MLS entries show ASSIGN, numerous remarks clarify that parking is paid nightly with 'no designated residential or guest only stalls' and that parking is 'available to rent per night' at set daily rates, indicating stalls are not assigned to specific units in the usual condo sense.
No analysis available
Public remarks explicitly state parking is individually owned and managed, indicating parking stalls are deeded/owned rather than solely building-rented stalls.
No analysis available
Public remarks repeatedly state parking is available for a fee and give daily/nightly rates ($50/24 hrs or $45/24 hrs for multi-day). No monthly parking rate was specified in the remarks.

I searched the remarks for any language about a parking waitlist or waiting list and found none. Absence of mention suggests no waitlist, but confidence is low because absence of language is not definitive.
No analysis available
Multiple public remarks mention key card/keyed elevator access and two distinct key cards for units, indicating electronic card/fob access is used in the building.
Strong evidence that the building provides security guard service: historical MLS checkbox data flagged SECGUA for 17 of 20 listings and at least 15 current listing remarks explicitly state '24-hour security', '24-hr security', '24/7 security', 'security guards', or 'on-site security office' (e.g., '24-hr security', '24-hour security guards', 'secured building with 24 hour security guards, cameras and keyed elevators', 'on-site security office'). Mentions appear across multiple agents/listings and consistently describe continuous security presence, supporting high confidence.
Listings repeatedly note 24-hour security, on-site security staff/office and security guards. While the exact phrase 'security patrol' is not always used, the repeated references to round-the-clock security and guards support presence of active security/patrol services.

MLS checkbox ACWIUN is present in 19 of 20 current listings. Public remarks from multiple agents explicitly reference window/room units—examples include 'new window A/C' and 'new air conditioner and refrigerator in Unit B'—and many listings note 'cool breezes' or limited kitchenette appliances consistent with room/window A/C usage. Evidence is strong across multiple listings and aligns with the MLS inclusions, so the building should be listed as offering window air conditioners.
Strong MLS-level evidence: 18 out of 20 recent listings list 'CONCRE' as a construction material. Public remarks across the listings do not contradict this (no mentions of alternate construction or recent structural change), and the consistency across many listings/agents supports that the building is concrete-constructed.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Only 2/20 current MLS records indicate 'MASSTU' and none of the dozens of public remarks mention 'masonry' or 'stucco'. With no prior high-confidence verification and no remarks describing a change or construction details, there is insufficient evidence to include this building-level feature.

Remarks consistently and repeatedly state that short-term/vacation/daily rentals are legally allowed in the Hawaiian Monarch (exemptions and registrations referenced), so STR is allowed with very high confidence.
Public remarks explicitly reference an available hotel rental pool program that owners may place units into, indicating the building participates in a hotel/managed rental pool option. This is only set true because STR is allowed.
Multiple listings explicitly indicate the hotel pool program is optional (owners can self-manage, use Airbnb, or place units in the hotel pool), so participation is not mandatory for units.

The remarks explicitly state the lease expiration date as 08/01/2054, so the lease expiry year is 2054. Multiple listings reference leasehold/fee conversion options corroborating leasehold status.
No evidence in the public remarks that the building is VA loan approved. I searched for phrases like 'VA approved' or 'VA financing' and found none, so set to false with low confidence.
I searched the remarks for explicit insurance language indicating HOA carries full 'walls-in' or comprehensive building insurance (e.g., 'fully insured', 'walls-in coverage') and found none. Absence of such statements in remarks means no confirmation the HOA provides full building insurance.
15 of 20 current MLS entries list fire sprinklers (FIRSPR) and historical data was previously high confidence (14/20). At least one public remark explicitly states, 'both the units and common areas are equipped with a fire sprinkler system.' Multiple listings consistently include the FIRSPR amenity (likely copied across agents), and the explicit remark provides direct confirmation that the building has a sprinkler system.
I searched the remarks for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'passed fire inspection', and 'fire safety certified' but found no explicit FLSE/pass statement. There is mention of a fire sprinkler system, but that does not equate to an FLSE pass.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

While 0/20 MLS view_descriptions currently flag OCEAN, the remarks are full of phrases like 'stunning city & ocean views,' 'beautiful ocean views,' 'sparkling ocean views,' 'partial ocean,' 'peek-a-boo ocean views,' and 'ocean and park views' from various stacks and high floors. Previous analysis already had high confidence, and current remarks strongly reaffirm ocean-facing exposure.
Strong evidence the building offers mountain views: dozens of public remarks mention 'mountain', 'mountains', 'mountain views' or 'mauka' (e.g., 'stunning Mountain, City, and Diamond Head views', 'wake up to... lush mountains'). Mentions appear across multiple agents/listings and consistently describe building-facing mountain vistas.
Clear evidence the building offers Diamond Head views: many listings explicitly state 'Diamond Head views' or 'framed Diamond Head' (e.g., 'stunning Mountain, City, and Diamond Head views', 'Panoramic View of Diamond Head'). These references are consistent across numerous listings and agents.
Strong evidence the building offers city views: many public remarks reference 'city skyline', 'city lights', 'cityscape' or 'city' (e.g., 'city skyline', 'enchanting city lights at night'). Mentions are widespread across listings and agents, indicating consistent building-level city views.

Strong evidence the building offers golf course views: numerous listings explicitly mention views of the Ala Wai Golf Course or 'golf course' (e.g., 'views of the Ala Wai Golf Course', 'overlooking the canal and Ala Wai Golf course'). References appear in multiple remarks across different listings.
Moderate evidence the building offers marina/harbor views: several listings explicitly mention 'the Marina' or describe views including the Ala Wai Canal and marina (e.g., 'Ocean Views and the Marina', 'views of the Ala Wai Canal and the Marina'). Mentions are present across multiple listings but are fewer than mountain/city/Diamond Head references.
Multiple remarks explicitly reference 'sunrise views,' 'beautiful sunrise view,' 'Wake up watching the beautiful sunrise to start your day,' and 'your daily Waikiki sunrise,' indicating eastern exposures in some stacks.
Some listings note 'beautiful sunset views' facing the canal and describe enjoying sunsets and Friday night fireworks from the unit, indicating sunset exposure for certain stacks.
No analysis available
At least one public remark explicitly advertises Friday night fireworks visible from the unit ('...Friday night fireworks right from your window'), confirming a fireworks VIEW from the building.

Multiple listings (MLS data: 11 of 20) explicitly mention staffed management, with key phrases like 'on-site manager', 'General Manager on site', and references to a front desk/management office. Mentions appear across different agent remarks (not isolated to a single copy/paste), confirming the building maintains on-site/resident management.
