Kalakauan
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.

About Kalakauan
Kalakauan is a six-story concrete building in the Hobron-Ena district of Waikiki. Built in 1966, the property contains 63 units and is served by a single elevator. According to available records, the building construction and size reflect mid-20th century development patterns in the neighborhood.
Key features include window air conditioning and mountain views from some units. The building is managed by Hawaiian Properties, Ltd. and short-term rentals are allowed per the MLS data. Pets are not permitted in the building.
Additional practical details from MLS records note covered, assigned parking is available. Buyers should verify all information, including any association rules, maintenance fees, and current rental policies, as this summary is based on MLS data and may not reflect recent changes.

Remarks emphasize legal short-term rentals, vacation rental income, and resort/mixed-use zoning but do not quantify owner-occupancy. Per rules, the existing owner_occupancy value (29.00) is kept with low confidence because no explicit owner-occupancy statements were found in the public remarks.
Public remarks reference the building as a 'secured elevator building' confirming elevator service exists, but no remarks state how many elevators (e.g., '2 elevators' or 'four elevators'). Current numeric value (1) is retained per rule to keep existing value when remarks do not provide a number.
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.

Strong, consistent evidence across listings that cable is included. 16 of 17 MLS entries list CABTV and multiple remarks read like 'basic cable' or 'maintenance fee includes ... cable,' indicating this is a building-level inclusion rather than isolated agent error.
Moderate evidence that common area electricity/other common services are included: 11 of 17 MLS entries have OTCOEX checked. Remarks reference building security and shared utilities, but wording is less explicit than other utility inclusions, so confidence is slightly lower.
No analysis available
High-confidence, repeated statements across listings that electricity is included. 14 of 17 MLS entries list ELECTR and numerous remarks say 'maintenance fee includes electricity' or similar phrases, consistent across multiple agent listings.
Very strong, uniform evidence that gas is included in maintenance fees—every MLS entry (17/17) lists GAS and remarks repeatedly note 'maintenance fee includes gas' and reference building-supplied gas for the kitchen.
Strong evidence that hot water is included at the building level. 14 of 17 MLS entries show HOTWAT and several remarks explicitly list 'hot water' among included utilities; absence of WTRHTR supports building-supplied hot water.
At least one detailed, building-level description states that maintenance fees include internet service along with other bundled utilities. About half of MLS entries also check INTSER, suggesting that bulk internet is included in the association fees despite some agents not checking the box consistently.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence sewer is included in maintenance fees—every MLS entry (17/17) lists SEWER and many remarks explicitly say 'maintenance fee includes ... sewer,' indicating a consistent building policy.
Very strong, consistent evidence that water is included. All 17 MLS entries list WATER and numerous remarks assert 'maintenance fee includes water,' matching historical high confidence and agent remarks.

7 of 17 current MLS listings have the TRACHU amenity checked, but zero of the public remarks include phrases such as 'trash chute', 'garbage chute', or 'refuse chute'. The only related mention is that HOA fees include 'trash utilities,' which refers to service/payment, not a chute. Evidence suggests the amenity checkbox was likely copy/pasted by agents and the building does not advertise a trash chute in remarks.

All 17 current MLS listings for this building have the community-laundry (COMLAU) amenity selected, and at least one public remark explicitly states 'Secure entry and shared laundry facilities.' While many agent remarks don't mention laundry (possible copy/paste), the unanimous MLS checkbox plus an explicit remark across listings provides strong evidence the building offers shared/community laundry.

Multiple agent remarks across listings confirm the building offers parking for at least some units: phrases include 'dedicated and secure covered PARKING STALL in building parking garage,' 'One assigned, covered, and secured parking stall,' and '1 COVERED PARKING.' MLS checkbox data also shows 7 of 17 listings with parking features, while others note no stall included for a given unit (or a leased stall across the street), indicating parking availability is unit-dependent but present in the building.

Several listings explicitly advertise an assigned/covered/secured parking stall included with the unit, indicating parking is deeded/assigned to the unit in those cases. Note some other listings reference no stall included or a rented stall, so parking treatment may vary by unit, but public remarks do show deeded/assigned parking exists.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit monthly parking charges or lease dollar amounts. Several remarks say tenants/owners rent parking stalls or have transferable parking leases, but no specific monthly fee or amount is provided in the public remarks.

I looked for any reference to a parking waitlist or instructions to join one. There are no such references in the remarks, so there is no evidence of a formal parking waitlist system.

MLS inclusion data shows 12 of 17 current listings checked the ACWIUN/window A/C box. Public remarks explicitly mention 'portable A/C' in one listing and 'window air conditioning' in another, supporting the checkbox data. Evidence comes from multiple agents and listings (likely some copy/paste), but explicit remarks plus strong historical checkbox prevalence make this a reliable feature for buyers searching for window/portable AC.
Strong evidence the building is concrete: 14/17 current MLS entries list CONCRE and prior data showed 13/16 as CONCRE. No public remarks mention alternate primary materials; evidence is consistent across multiple agents and appears reliable.

Moderate evidence for masonry/stucco components: 6/17 current MLS listings include MASSTU and prior data indicated medium confidence. No listing remarks explicitly reference masonry or stucco, so inclusion is based on MLS checkbox prevalence rather than explicit remark confirmation.

Little evidence for 'above ground' construction: only 2/17 current MLS listings include ABOGRO and none of the public remarks mention above-ground materials or a change. Given the low prevalence and lack of supporting remarks, this feature is likely not meaningful for buyers seeking buildings described as 'above ground.'

Short-term rentals are repeatedly and explicitly advertised across the listings as legal for this building, including references to legal vacation rentals and daily/hotel-like rentals. This is strongly supported by multiple remarks.
I searched for language indicating the building participates in a hotel-managed rental pool program. The remarks describe legal short-term rentals but do not mention any hotel rental pool or hotel-managed program, so there is no evidence to mark this true.
Listings present short-term rental participation as optional and describe owners managing or opting into bookings, indicating participation in any rental program is not mandatory. Therefore a mandatory hotel/rental-pool requirement is contradicted by the remarks.

Multiple remarks explicitly describe the unit as leasehold with a fixed term 'through 2035'. No later expiry year is given, so 2035 is taken as the lease expiry year.
I searched the public remarks for terms indicating VA loan approval or acceptance (e.g., 'VA approved', 'VA financing', 'VA loans accepted'). There are no references to VA lending or approval in any of the listings, so we cannot mark the building as VA-approved.
Several listings explicitly state the building/property is fully insured (phrases include 'property is 100% insured' and 'fully insured'), providing strong evidence that the HOA provides walls-in/ comprehensive building insurance. Field set to true with high confidence.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for explicit language indicating a passed fire/life safety evaluation (e.g., 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', 'passed fire inspection') but found no such statements. With no evidence in public remarks, the field is set to false with medium confidence.

One of 16 current MLS listings for this building tags 'MOUNTA' in the view description, and none specify 'no view', suggesting at least some units have mountain views. While the public remarks focus on location, vacation-rental legality, and renovations rather than views, nothing contradicts the presence of mountain-facing units. Because buyers often seek buildings where any stack offers mountain views, the feature is included with moderate confidence based on the available MLS view metadata.
No analysis available
Several listings (at least 3) reference a lanai or balcony with views toward Kalakaua Ave or the entrance to Waikiki, such as 'balcony overlooking the main strip of Kalakaua Ave' and 'facing the entrance to Waikiki.' MLS view_descriptions also include CITY for 4 of 17 listings and none marked NONE, indicating multiple units in the building offer city/urban views though not universally across all units.
