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.

The listings do not provide any data on the percentage of owner-occupied units. Phrases like '80% owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied', or similar were specifically looked for and not found. As a result, the owner-occupancy rate remains unknown.
The building is explicitly described as having 2 elevators. No other listing contradicts this statement, so 2 elevators is taken as accurate. This should reliably represent the current elevator count.

Multiple remarks state that maintenance fees include cable TV or basic cable, e.g., “Maintenance Fee include… internet and cable tv” and “Maintenance fees includes: electricity, cable TV, water and sewer.” MLS data (8/8 with CABTV) is fully consistent with these remarks, suggesting this is a standard building feature. Evidence comes from several different listings, not a single copy-pasted description.
About half of the MLS entries specifically include OTCOEX, indicating common area electricity is paid by the association. Other listings describe broad utility inclusions but don’t break out common-area power, which is usually bundled into HOA in similar buildings. Overall, MLS coding and typical condo practice support treating common-area electricity as included.
No analysis available
Remarks repeatedly state “Maintenance Fee include electricity” and “Maintenance fees includes: electricity…,” showing that unit electricity is included in the HOA. This is reinforced by 8/8 MLS entries listing ELECTR in association_fee_includes, with consistent wording across multiple different listings.
No analysis available
Several listings say things like “Maintenance Fee include… hot water” and “Your maintenance fees cover electricity and hot water,” indicating building-supplied hot water is part of the HOA. The MLS consistently codes HOTWAT and never WTRHTR, supporting that hot water (not individual water heaters) is included in the fees.
One remark claims “Maintenance Fee include… internet and cable tv,” but all other detailed utility descriptions omit internet while highlighting other inclusions like electricity, water, sewer, hot water, and cable TV. With 7/8 MLS entries not checking INTSER and no pattern of confirming remarks, the balance of evidence indicates internet service is generally not included in the HOA fees.
No analysis available
Remarks include phrases such as “Maintenance Fee include electricity, hot water, sewer…” and “Maintenance fees includes: electricity, cable TV, water and sewer,” confirming sewer is paid through the HOA. This aligns with the MLS data where SEWER appears on nearly all listings, indicating a stable building-wide inclusion.
Multiple remarks say things like “HOA fee covers electricity, water, sewer, hot water, cable TV” and “Maintenance fee covered water, sewer, hot water, cable TV and Electricity,” showing water is clearly bundled into the HOA. This is further supported by 8/8 MLS records including WATER in association_fee_includes.

None of the 8 listings mention a car wash station or vehicle wash area, despite repeated discussion of covered/secured parking and other building amenities. The 6/8 CRWSH checkmarks in MLS appear inconsistent with the narrative descriptions and are likely agent copy-forward errors. Therefore, a building car wash facility is not supported by the available evidence.

Across 8 listings, there are 0 mentions of a meeting, conference, community, or hospitality room, even when amenities are described in detail. Although 3/8 MLS entries check a meeting-room amenity, the total absence of matching remarks suggests this is likely a copy-paste checkbox error. On balance, there is insufficient evidence that the building offers a meeting or conference room.
Seven of the eight listings mention lanais or similar outdoor spaces, with phrases like “large private lanai,” “generously sized 158 sq ft lanai,” “expansive lanai,” and “very usable lanai.” One listing notes the building will be “redoing lanais and entries starting July of 2025,” showing lanais are a common, building-wide feature rather than a one-off. The variety of wording and detail across listings suggests this is reliable, not copy‑pasted, information.

The remarks describe amenities such as pool, parking, pet-friendliness, storage shared between units, and in-unit washer/dryer, but do not reference any surfboard-specific storage. I searched for phrases like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', and 'bike and surfboard storage' and found no matches, so it is likely this feature is not offered.

Out of 8 listings, at least 1 clearly states 'pool and jacuzzi for relaxing in the common areas,' directly confirming a common-area whirlpool/jacuzzi. This aligns with 5/8 MLS records checking the whirlpool amenity, suggesting multiple agents independently recognize it. The combined checkbox data and explicit remark provide strong evidence the building has a shared whirlpool/jacuzzi.
The building clearly has a shared pool amenity. At least 3 of 8 recent listings explicitly reference it with phrases like 'association pool for those relaxing swims', 'Dive into the pool on sunny days', and 'pool and jacuzzi for relaxing in the common areas', and all 8 listings have pool-related amenities checked in the MLS. Evidence is strong and consistent across multiple agents, indicating a true common-area pool rather than a listing error.
No analysis available
No listing remarks describe the building’s pool as salt water, saltwater, saline, or a salt pool. All references are generic to a regular pool or pool and jacuzzi, so there is no evidence to classify it as a saltwater pool. Marking as not saltwater by default due to lack of any specific mentions.
Multiple listings for Kapiolani Gardens explicitly state that units have in-unit washers and dryers, with phrases like "in unit washer & dryer," "washer and dryer right in your unit," and "Washer/dryer in unit." All 8 current MLS entries also check washer/dryer in the inclusions, strongly supporting that some or all units in the building offer in-unit laundry. This makes the building relevant to buyers specifically searching for in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
The listings only reference in-unit washers and dryers and never describe any coin-op or paid laundry facilities. I specifically looked for terms like 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'card-operated laundry', and 'laundry fee' but did not find any. This lack of evidence suggests there is no paid community laundry in the building.
The remarks repeatedly highlight the convenience of in-unit washers and dryers, but do not mention any shared or community laundry rooms on each floor. I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'community laundry', and 'shared laundry' and found none. Based on this absence, it's likely there is no community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
Assigned parking is strongly supported: MLS data has ASSIGN checked on 8/8 listings, and at least two remarks explicitly mention dedicated/assigned stalls (e.g., “1 assigned covered good size parking space comes with the unit,” “dedicated parking”). Other listings reference a specific ‘covered parking stall,’ indicating individual, reserved stalls rather than unassigned parking, and this pattern appears across multiple agents.
No analysis available
I searched for phrases like 'deeded parking', 'owned parking', or 'parking stall included in the deed' across all remarks. Only assigned or covered parking is mentioned, with no indication that stalls are deeded, so this is likely not deeded parking.
No analysis available
I looked for mentions of a monthly parking charge, parking rental, or additional parking cost and found none. Because there is no explicit information either way, the existence or amount of any parking fee is unknown.
Guest parking appears in the structured MLS data for 6 of 8 listings via the GUEST parking_features flag, implying that several different agents believe the building offers guest stalls. While no remarks explicitly say “guest parking” or “visitor parking,” the repeated MLS checkbox usage across most listings suggests guest parking is available, even if it is not heavily emphasized in descriptions.

I checked all remarks for terms like 'parking waitlist' or 'waiting list for parking' and found no references. The absence of any such mention suggests the building likely does not use a formal parking waitlist system.

No listing remarks specifically mention card or fob access, electronic readers, or keycard-controlled entry doors or gates. Phrases like 'secured covered parking' and 'very secured building' are too general to conclude a card/fob system is present, so this feature is marked as not present based on current information.
No analysis available
All reviewed remarks focus on amenities, parking, views, and general building security but do not reference any kind of security patrol or roving guards. In the absence of explicit mentions, this feature is treated as not present.

Two of eight current MLS listings for this building explicitly check the window-AC inclusion (ACWIUN), indicating that at least some units have window-type air conditioning. Public remarks reference new 'AC' in a remodeled unit but do not specify the type, and no listings claim central air, which is consistent with a mix of split and window units. Given the checkbox data from multiple agents and lack of contrary evidence, it is likely that some units in the building do have window AC.
All 8 recent MLS listings for this building indicate concrete in the construction materials field, suggesting a concrete-constructed structure. While public remarks do not explicitly state 'concrete construction,' there is consistent, building-wide MLS data and no evidence of alternative construction types.

Searched for terms like short-term rental, vacation rental, NUC/TVU, nightly stays, or hotel-style operations and found none. The remarks describe conventional residential use and financing, which typically indicates STR is not allowed, but this is not explicitly stated.
Looked for hotel rental pool/program language such as 'hotel rental pool', 'managed by hotel', or named hotel brands and found nothing. Combined with lack of STR indications, this strongly suggests there is no hotel pool program.
Searched for phrases like mandatory hotel pool, required rental program, or must participate and found none. Since there is no evidence of any hotel pool, mandatory participation can be ruled out.

I looked for phrases such as "lease expires," "land lease to," "leasehold expiring," or references to a ground lease being extended. None of the listings provide any lease expiry year or even indicate that the property is leasehold. Without explicit information, the lease expiry year cannot be determined.
The building is clearly described as VA loan approved in the public remarks, indicating VA financing is accepted. This direct statement provides strong evidence that VA loans are allowed. No remarks contradict this information.
The HOA fee is noted as covering hazard insurance, but there is no explicit indication that the HOA provides full walls-in or comprehensive building insurance. Searched for phrases such as 'fully insured', 'full insurance', 'fully covered insurance', and 'walls-in coverage' and found none. Therefore, full HOA insurance coverage cannot be confirmed from the remarks.
No analysis available
Listings were checked for terms like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', or 'life safety compliant' and none appeared. In the absence of any evidence, the building is assumed not to have a documented FLSE pass in the remarks. This may simply mean it is not being advertised.

Multiple listings explicitly advertise Diamond Head views from lanais and interior rooms (e.g., “stunning Diamond Head views from your expansive lanai, living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom”). MLS view codes show DIAHEA in 5 of 8 current listings and none report ‘NONE,’ strongly supporting that Kapiolani Gardens offers Diamond Head view units. This pattern across several different listings suggests real, building-level view orientation rather than a one-off or copy-paste error.
Remarks mention urban views such as “Waikiki City views” and “the city life below you,” confirming that some units overlook the surrounding cityscape. MLS view codes list CITY for the majority of current listings (5 of 8) with no listings indicating ‘NONE.’ This consistent evidence across several units supports marking view_city as available in the building.

I looked for phrases like "fireworks view," "watch fireworks from lanai," or similar language indicating fireworks can be seen from the units. None of the listings mention fireworks views, so it is likely the building is not marketed as having a fireworks view. In the absence of any reference, this feature is set to false with medium confidence.
No analysis available
Multiple recent MLS listings (8/8) mark the building as having a resident manager, and one agent’s remarks specifically note a 'resident manager onsite.' This explicit confirmation plus consistent checkbox data across all listings indicates the building has an on-site manager. There is no evidence in any remarks suggesting this feature is absent or has been removed.
