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.
Kalakauan
Building Overview
Kalakauan in Waikiki, a 1966 concrete building with 63 units, window AC, covered assigned parking, and short-term rentals allowed.
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.

Listings repeatedly emphasize short-term rentals, investment income, and resort/mixed-use zoning but never quantify owner-occupancy (no phrases like '80% owner occupied' or 'majority owner occupied'). Per rules, kept the current value of 29% with low confidence due to lack of explicit evidence in the remarks.
Remarks confirm the building has elevator service ('Kalakauan is a secured elevator building') but never specify how many. I searched the full public remarks for explicit counts like '4 elevators' or 'two elevators' and found none. Kept the current value of 1 with low confidence because there is confirmation of an elevator but no explicit number.

Multiple listings state that maintenance fees include cable, with phrases like 'basic cable' and 'Maintenance fee includes electricity, gas, cable and water.' Combined with 15 of 16 MLS entries checking CABTV, this strongly indicates building-provided cable TV is included in the fees.

Many remarks note 'Monthly maintenance fees include electricity' or 'Maintenance Fee includes Electricity...,' and a detailed HOA breakdown lists electric among covered utilities. Together with strong MLS checkbox support, electricity is clearly included in the maintenance fees.
Several investor-focused listings emphasize that maintenance fees include gas along with other utilities, and highlight a 'highly desirable gas stove and oven' supported by building gas. With universal MLS GAS checkmarks, gas is very likely included in the fees.
A building remark explicitly notes 'Maintenance Fee includes Electricity, Cable, Hot Water, Water, Gas and more,' indicating building-supplied hot water. The frequent HOTWAT checkbox and absence of unit water-heater (WTRHTR) entries support that hot water is included in the maintenance fees.
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
Several independent remarks describe maintenance fees that 'include electricity, water, and sewer' or explicitly list 'electric, sewer, water, and trash.' Coupled with universal SEWER checkmarks in MLS, this strongly confirms sewer charges are included in the maintenance fees.
Water inclusion is repeatedly mentioned in remarks such as 'Maintenance Fee includes Electricity, Cable, Hot Water, Water, Gas and more' and 'includes electric, sewer, water.' With every MLS entry listing WATER, there is very strong evidence that water is included in the maintenance fees.

All 16 current MLS listings for this building have the community-laundry (COMLAU) amenity selected, suggesting a shared laundry facility is provided at the building level. The public remarks do not explicitly reference laundry rooms or coin laundry, but there is no evidence contradicting the MLS data, so community laundry is included with moderate confidence.

Evidence from several listings confirms the building has its own parking garage with assigned/covered stalls for at least some units. Phrases such as "dedicated and secure covered PARKING STALL in building parking garage," "One assigned, covered, and secured parking stall," and "1 COVERED PARKING!" appear across multiple listings from different agents. Although many units are sold without stalls and some owners rent parking elsewhere, buyers can find units in this building that include on-site parking.

I looked for explicit language such as 'deeded parking', 'owned parking', or 'included in the deed'. While some listings state an assigned/covered/secured stall is included with certain units and others state 'no parking stall included with sale', none explicitly say the parking is deeded, so deeded parking cannot be confirmed from the remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for references to parking fees or parking leases. Multiple remarks indicate parking stalls are being rented/leased and that leases can be transferred, but no monthly dollar amount or explicit monthly fee is provided in the remarks.

I searched the remarks for 'waitlist', 'waiting list', or directions to join a parking list. There are none, so there's no evidence of a parking waitlist system in the public remarks.

Multiple MLS listings (11/16) check the window A/C inclusion, and one agent’s remarks specifically describe the unit as having "window air conditioning." There are no remarks suggesting a different building-wide A/C system, so buyers can reasonably expect that some units in this building have window A/C units.
13 of 16 recent MLS listings classify the building’s construction as CONCRE (concrete), with no remarks suggesting any alternate primary structure type. This level of consistency across multiple agents supports that the building is constructed of concrete rather than it being a random or erroneous checkbox selection.

5 of 16 listings list MASSTU in the construction materials, suggesting the building has masonry/stucco components in addition to its concrete structure. Although other agents omit this checkbox in some listings, the repeated presence of MASSTU across several listings provides moderate evidence that masonry/stucco construction applies to this building.

Short-term rentals are clearly and repeatedly advertised as a core feature, with explicit references to legal vacation rentals, daily rentals, and resort/mixed-use zoning. Several listings position the property as an STR investment with verifiable income and ongoing bookings. This provides strong evidence that short-term rentals are allowed in this building.
I verified that short-term rentals are allowed (multiple statements: 'legal short term rental', 'allows owners to rent your unit daily like a hotel'). However, I looked specifically for hotel-managed rental pool language (e.g., 'hotel rental pool', 'managed by [hotel]', 'part of hotel operations') and found none, so there is no evidence the building participates in a hotel rental pool program.
Owners are portrayed as free to use units as residences, vacation rentals, or investments, and some listings mention the owner or a manager handling bookings directly. There is no language about mandatory inclusion in a hotel or centralized rental pool. Given both the flexibility described and lack of any 'required program' wording, mandatory pool participation is effectively ruled out.

A unit is explicitly described as leasehold with a fixed term 'through 2035', indicating the land lease expiry for leasehold interests. No other remarks mention a different or extended lease end date. Accordingly, 2035 is used as the lease expiry year for leasehold units in this building.
I searched the remarks for terms like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans'. There are no references to VA lending or approval, so there is no evidence the building is VA loan approved.
Several independent listings clearly state that the building is "fully insured," indicating comprehensive HOA-provided building insurance. Repeated, explicit wording across listings supports this being accurate with high confidence.
No analysis available
I reviewed all public remarks for explicit language indicating the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation (e.g., 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified') and found none. Because there is no explicit statement and no current recorded true value, I return false with medium confidence (absence of mention suggests it wasn't highlighted in listings).

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
Four of 16 current MLS listings explicitly tag 'CITY' in the view_descriptions, and none mark 'no view', indicating several units offer city or urban views. Remarks describe units as being in the 'heart of Waikiki' and one balcony 'overlooking the main strip of Kalakaua Ave', which supports a cityscape/streetscape outlook. Because multiple agents independently mark city views and the narrative fits an urban-view building, view_city is included with relatively strong confidence.
