Searched remarks for explicit owner-occupancy language (e.g., '80% owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied') and found none. Per rules, kept the existing numeric value but with low confidence due to lack of corroborating remarks.
Searched all public remarks for explicit counts like '4 elevators' or spelled-out numbers and found none. There is an indirect mention ('when the elevators are busy') confirming elevators exist but no numeric statement, so the current numeric value 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.

Current MLS shows 11/20 listings with CABTV and many agent remarks list a monthly cable line item (examples: "Cable: $57.14/monthly", "Maintenance fee includes Cable Charge $55/month"). Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents rather than isolated copy-paste, supporting that cable is included/assessed as a building fee.
15 of 20 MLS records list common electric and many public remarks explicitly note "Electricity - charged on maintenance invoice monthly" or that maintenance covers common area expenses. Multiple agents independently report this, indicating robust building-level inclusion of common area electric.
No analysis available
Remarks repeatedly describe unit electricity as a charge on the HOA/maintenance invoice rather than a separate utility account. Even where it is “separately metered,” it is still billed via the association, indicating that electricity is provided and collected through the maintenance billing structure.
Very limited MLS checkbox evidence (1/20) and no supporting public remarks. There is insufficient evidence that gas is included in the maintenance fee; agent copy/paste or isolated checkbox is more likely.
MLS data shows 17 of 20 recent records include HOTWAT in association_fee_includes, and an agent remark explicitly states "maintenance fee of $633.14 covers ... hot water." Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and aligns with historical high-confidence data, indicating hot water is included in the maintenance fee.
MLS shows 11/20 listings with INTSER and numerous remarks call out internet/Wi‑Fi as part of the building fees or as a bundled line item (examples: "Other fees ($54) are cable and internet fees", "cable and Wi-Fi"). The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents.
No analysis available
All 20 current MLS records list SEWER in association_fee_includes and agent remarks (e.g., "maintenance fee ... covers ... sewer") corroborate this. The evidence is strong and consistent across listings, so sewer is included in the maintenance fee.
All 20 MLS records include WATER in association_fee_includes and public remarks note maintenance covers water (e.g., "maintenance fee of $633.14 covers ... water"). The combined MLS and remarks evidence is strong and consistent, supporting that water is included in the maintenance fee.

No listing remarks reference a clubhouse, club house, community center, or recreation center space despite very detailed amenity descriptions. With 19/20 listings not checking CLUHOU and no textual support, this appears to be an incorrect recent checkbox selection, so the building is treated as not having a clubhouse-style facility.
Strong evidence that the Ilikai provides concierge/front-desk services: numerous current remarks explicitly state "concierge service", "concierge", or "front desk" (appearing across many listings). The historical MLS checkbox also showed CONCIE on roughly half the recent listings and prior analysis rated concierge as High confidence, and multiple agent remarks now explicitly reference concierge and front-desk services rather than only checkbox entries.
No analysis available
Moderate/evidence-supported: only a few MLS listings checked the DOORMA box (3/20), but several public remarks reference staffed lobby services—phrases like "bellman and valet", "bell desk", "front desk" and "valet parking" appear in multiple listings. While explicit "doorman" phrasing is uncommon, the consistent mentions of staffed lobby functions suggest a staffed entry/attendant service at the building.
Strong evidence the Ilikai has a fitness center: 12 of 20 current MLS listings include the EXEROO amenity flag and numerous public remarks explicitly state 'fitness center' or '24-hour fitness center'. Mentions appear across listings from multiple agents and are consistent with the building's resort-style amenity descriptions, indicating a reliable shared building amenity.
No analysis available
Historical MLS data and prior high-confidence assessments indicate a meeting/conference room (4 of 20 current listings have MEEROO checked). However, none of the public remarks in the current sample describe a 'meeting room' or 'conference room', so the feature is retained but with moderate confidence pending direct confirmation from building management.
Strong evidence the Ilikai offers patios/decks: over a dozen current listings explicitly reference lanais or balconies (e.g., "private lanai," "120 sq ft lanai," "covered lanai"). Historical MLS checkbox data also recorded PATDEC/COVPAT on most past listings (17/20), and multiple agents across many listings mention spacious lanais, indicating this is a building-level feature rather than isolated or erroneous copy-paste.
No analysis available
No analysis available
No evidence in agent remarks of private yard or fenced yard—none of the public remarks mention 'private yard', 'fenced yard' or equivalent. Given the absence in remarks, lack of historical support, and only 1/20 MLS checkbox, it's very likely the building does not offer private yard space (agent checkbox appears to be erroneous).
No analysis available
Building-level recreation amenities are well-documented: 9 of 20 current MLS listings include the RECARE amenity flag and many public remarks explicitly list a "recreation area" (e.g., "...two heated hotel pools, recreation area, restaurants, and valet parking"). Evidence is consistent across multiple agent listings and aligns with prior high-confidence historical data, indicating the building provides shared recreation spaces.
No listings' public remarks describe a dedicated recreation/rec/game room. MLS checkbox appears in only 1 of 20 current listings (new flag), and there is no historical confirmation in remarks — evidence points to an isolated/erroneous checkbox rather than a real shared recreation room.
Strong, consistent evidence that the Ilikai building offers on-site restaurant/dining. 16 of 20 current MLS listings include the RESTAU amenity flag, and numerous remarks explicitly state phrases like "on-site restaurants," "two on-site restaurants (lobby and rooftop)," and "on-site dining and cafe," indicating broad confirmation across many agent listings rather than isolated copy-paste.
No analysis available
Confidence 88%: Only 3/20 MLS entries mark SAUNA and, across a very large number of detailed amenity descriptions (pools, fitness center, spa/salon, shops, restaurants), none mention a sauna, suggesting the checkbox hits are likely errors and that a sauna is not an advertised facility.
Multiple listings explicitly mention on-site storage rental (phrases like 'monthly storage available for rent' and 'monthly parking and storage are available for rent'). The MLS amenities checkbox for storage appears in a few current listings (3/20) and historical data showed medium confidence; the repeated explicit mentions across different agent remarks indicate the building offers storage rental options. Evidence comes from several independent listings rather than a single copy/paste entry.
I searched for phrases such as 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', and 'surfboard' in the remarks. While the listings mention proximity to surf spots and an on-site 'surf rental shop', there is no explicit mention of designated surfboard storage or bike-and-surfboard storage facilities. Therefore surfboard_storage is set to false with low confidence due to absence of explicit statements.
No analysis available
MLS checkbox data shows moderate support for a trash chute (about 12 of 20 listings include the TRACHU amenity flag), but the public remarks contain no explicit phrases like 'trash chute' or 'garbage chute'—only generic mentions of trash in service/maintenance descriptions. Evidence is therefore implied rather than explicit and confidence is moderate (appears in MLS flags but not confirmed in agent remarks).
Evidence supports that the Ilikai provides valet service: 13/20 current MLS listings historically listed VALET and numerous remarks explicitly state “valet service” or “valet parking” (and related references like bellman/concierge), consistently appearing across listings from multiple agents.
No analysis available
There is explicit mention of whirlpool/jacuzzi amenities in the public remarks: several listings note 'jacuzzis' or 'jacuzzi' alongside the pools (examples: 'two pools, jacuzzis' and references to 'jacuzzis' in amenity lists). While only a small number of MLS checkbox flags currently show WHIRLP (2/20), the direct mentions in agent remarks across multiple listings indicate shared spa/hot tub features are present.
Current MLS data (20 of 20 listings) list pool amenities and multiple public remarks across the listings explicitly mention on-site pools—common phrases include “two pools,” “heated main pool,” and “terrace-level pool.” Evidence is consistent and corroborated across many agent remarks rather than isolated mentions, supporting a high-confidence determination that the building has pools.
Moderate-to-strong evidence that at least some Ilikai pools are heated: while not every listing flags heating, at least five listings/remarks explicitly state “heated pools” or “two heated hotel pools,” and several other remarks reference pool amenities consistently. The heated designation appears repeatedly across independent listings rather than as a single outlier, supporting inclusion of pool_heated as true.
The building context and public remarks repeatedly reference 'two pools' and 'heated pools', but there is no explicit phrase such as 'salt water pool' or 'saltwater'. I searched the entire remarks for keywords: 'salt', 'salt water', 'saltwater', 'saline' and found no matches. Because the building is documented as having pools but the remarks don’t specify salt water, I leave pool_salt true (pool exists) with low confidence due to lack of explicit evidence.
Several public remarks across listings (about 6 listings) explicitly note in-unit laundry—quotes include “grandfathered in WASHER/DRYER in unit,” “in-unit washer/dryer,” and “unit has it's own washer and dryer.” Evidence is consistent that some units (likely grandfathered/rare) include washers/dryers in-unit, but the MLS inclusion checkbox is present on few listings, so confidence is moderate-high rather than maximum.
Strong evidence that the Ilikai building has shared laundry facilities: MLS checkbox shows COMLAU in 19 of 20 current listings, and numerous remarks explicitly state "community laundry area", "coin-operated laundry room on each floor", or "common laundry on each floor." Mentions appear across multiple listings and agents rather than isolated copy/paste, supporting high confidence.
Several listings explicitly indicate the community laundry is paid (coin- or card-operated). I searched for 'coin', 'card', 'paid laundry' and found direct mentions confirming payment is required.
Public remarks repeatedly mention a laundry room on every floor (e.g., "Laundry room on each floor"). I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor' and found multiple explicit statements confirming it.
Multiple recent listing remarks across the Ilikai explicitly state on-site parking and valet (phrases include 'valet parking', 'valet service', and 'monthly parking available'), confirming historical knowledge that the building provides parking. While MLS checkbox data is inconsistent (most units showing NONE), the consistent, repeated agent remarks across many listings indicate strong evidence the building offers on-site parking and valet services rather than a removal of that amenity.
No analysis available
One MLS record explicitly flags covered/garage parking, and numerous remarks reference 'valet parking', 'monthly parking space', and 'parking and storage available for rent' at this high-rise condotel. In this urban hotel-condo context, valet and monthly parking are almost certainly in the attached structured/covered facility rather than open lots.
Multiple listings repeatedly reference valet service and monthly parking or parking rental (implying paid/leased parking). I found no explicit phrase such as 'deeded parking', 'parking included in deed', or 'owned parking stall' in the remarks, so there is no evidence that parking is deeded.
No analysis available
Many listings explicitly mention parking as a paid/rental option (valet, monthly paid parking space, monthly parking available for rent). This provides strong textual evidence that parking incurs an additional monthly fee rather than being universally included free.

I specifically searched the remarks for wording like 'parking waitlist', 'parking waiting list', or 'join waitlist for parking' and found none. Absence of such references suggests no advertised waitlist system in the public remarks, but this remains a low-confidence negative due to possible off-listing policies.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for terms like 'key card access', 'fob access', 'card reader', 'keycard', and 'electronic access' and found none describing building entry systems. There is a mention of 'card-operated laundry facilities', but that refers to laundry payment/operation and does not confirm a card/fob entry security system for the building. With no explicit evidence in the public remarks, security_card is set to false with low confidence.
Historical MLS data showed SECGUA checked on 16 of 20 listings. Current listing remarks repeatedly state on-site security—quotes include "24-hour security", "24/7 Security", "security guards", and "security guard and resident manager's office on site." Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings (numerous remarks), indicating strong building-level on-site security rather than isolated copy-paste errors.
Public remarks repeatedly advertise continuous security presence (24-hour security, security guard, on-site security). I searched for '24-hour security', 'security guard', and found numerous explicit mentions indicating security/patrol presence.
No analysis available
None of the many public remarks for this building describe a central or building-wide air conditioning system; instead they consistently mention individual split AC or window units, often as recent upgrades. Only 1 of 20 MLS entries checked a central-AC-type box, which conflicts with the narrative remarks and appears to be an isolated data error. Based on the overwhelming pattern of unit-level AC and no explicit references to central air, the building is treated as not having central AC.
15 of 20 current listings include the ACSPL checkbox and numerous agent remarks explicitly state split or ductless systems—examples: 'ductless A/C system', 'split AC', 'split A/C's', and 'New Brand New Split AC System installed Sep 2025'. Mentions appear across multiple agents/listings and are consistent with the MLS checkbox prevalence, indicating strong evidence the building/units offer split/ductless AC.
Building-level evidence that some units have window air conditioning: MLS checkbox ACWIUN appears in 5 of 20 current listings, and public remarks explicitly state a "window air conditioning unit" in at least two listings (e.g., "the unit includes a window air conditioning unit to keep you cool year-round"). Many other remarks reference split/ductless A/C, so A/C types vary by unit; the presence of window units is supported but not universal across all listings.
Building-level MLS checkbox shows concrete construction in 20/20 current records, providing very strong building-level evidence. Public remarks across listings do not mention any change or contradiction (no notes about timber/wood framing or recent rebuild), so concrete construction remains the best-supported value.
A minority of current MLS records (6 of 20) list 'DOUWAL' (double wall), but none of the public remarks explicitly mention 'double wall' or describe two-wall construction. Evidence is mixed—several agents/records checked the box (possible copy/paste), so include the feature as present for some units with moderate confidence (6 listings indicate it).

Steel frame appears in just 1 of 20 MLS records while none of the dozens of public remarks mention steel-frame construction. Given the isolated MLS checkbox and lack of corroborating remarks or historical support, the single STEFRA entry is likely a data error and the building should be considered not steel-frame.

7 of 20 MLS listings include 'ABOGRO' (above ground), and prior confidence was medium. No public remarks explicitly describe or highlight 'above ground' construction, suggesting the MLS evidence is only partial and possibly inconsistent between agents. Because some MLS entries include the feature, it is included here with moderate confidence (implied) rather than high certainty.

Public remarks across many listings repeatedly state the Ilikai is resort-mixed-use/resort-zoned and permits legal short-term/daily vacation rentals. This is consistently and explicitly presented, giving high confidence that STRs are allowed.
Public remarks frequently state units participate in hotel-managed rental programs (Aqua-Aston/Aqua Hotels/Ilikai Hotel Pool), indicating the availability of a hotel rental pool. Multiple listings explicitly reference enrollment in such programs.
Several listings explicitly describe rental flexibility and state participation in the hotel pool is optional — owners can self-manage or use third-party managers — so hotel-pool participation is not mandatory (high confidence).

I looked for ground-lease/leasehold language and explicit expiry years but found none. The remarks explicitly reference 'fee simple' in at least one listing, so a lease-expiry year is not applicable.
I searched all public remarks for explicit VA language (e.g., 'VA approved', 'VA financing', 'VA loans accepted') and found none. Absence of any VA-specific wording in the remarks means we cannot confirm VA approval from the public text.
Searched remarks for 'fully insured', 'walls-in coverage', 'full insurance', 'comprehensive building insurance' and similar phrases; found no references. No public-remarks evidence to indicate HOA provides full/walls-in insurance, so returned false with medium confidence.
Most MLS entries (17 of 20 current listings) list the FIRSPR amenity checkbox, and public remarks explicitly note "there are sprinkler systems in the building." While only a small number of remarks call it out verbatim, the consistent MLS checkbox usage across many listings indicates the building has a fire sprinkler system.
Searched remarks for 'FLSE', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'passed fire inspection', 'fire safety certified', and similar language; found no references. With no public-remarks evidence and no existing verified current value, returned false with medium confidence (absence = likely not documented publicly).

Dozens of current listing remarks reference ocean or direct oceanfront views (examples: "direct ocean-view", "Pacific Ocean", "oceanfront"). Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and units (high-floor units, corner stacks, and penthouses) indicating the building offers ocean-view units. This is strong, building-level evidence rather than isolated copy/paste.
Multiple listings explicitly mention mountain/Koolau/mauka views (e.g., 'views of the Koolau Mountains', 'mountain side', 'mauka-corner residence'), appearing across different unit listings and agents, indicating the building offers mountain-view units.
Multiple listings explicitly mention Diamond Head views and quote phrases such as "Diamond Head views" and "Diamond Head and Pacific Ocean views," including upper-floor and penthouse listings. Evidence is repeated across agents and unit types, supporting inclusion.
Many listings explicitly advertise city or skyline views (phrases such as 'Waikiki Skyline', 'city light views', 'city and mountain views'), across various units and agents, supporting that the building offers city-view units.
Several listings explicitly mention 'coastline' or 'coastline with sunset', and many more describe marina/harbor/shoreline panoramas and oceanfront views. Evidence appears in multiple listings and agents' remarks, indicating the building offers coastline/shoreline views.

Dozens of listings call out marina/harbor views (phrases include "Ala Wai Boat Harbor", "yacht harbor", "harbor & ocean views"). The evidence is widespread across different stacks and floors, showing the building provides units with marina/harbor views. Multiple agents independently reference the marina, supporting high confidence.
Several agent remarks explicitly reference sunrise or morning vistas (example: "stunning sunrise vistas" and multiple units noting bright morning sunlight or eastern exposure). While less common than ocean/city notes, explicit mentions across listings support inclusion.
Many listing remarks explicitly mention sunset or evening features (quoting: "spectacular sunsets", "Friday night fireworks", "sunset views"). References appear across numerous units and stacks (including corner and ocean/marina-facing units), indicating sunset views are a common building feature. The evidence is consistent and strong across multiple agents.
No analysis available
Many public remarks clearly advertise front-row views of the weekly Friday night fireworks from the unit/lanai. I looked for 'fireworks from'/'watch fireworks from' and found multiple explicit examples.

Several listings explicitly reference an on-site/resident manager (phrases include "resident manager's office on site" and "resident manager provide peace of mind and quick assistance") and the RESMAN amenity appears in multiple MLS entries (7 of 20). The combination of explicit remarks across different listings and repeated MLS checkbox use indicates the building has a resident/on-site manager.
