Kapiolani Manor
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.

I reviewed all public remarks for explicit owner-occupancy language or numeric percentages. Listings reference suitability for 'owner-occupants' versus 'investors' and discuss rental/investment appeal, but none provide a specific percentage or clear statement about overall owner-occupancy, so the owner-occupancy percentage is unknown from the remarks.
Remarks explicitly mention '3-elecvators in service', so we use 3 elevators. This is consistent with the building context (27 floors) and prior value.
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.

Multiple agent remarks across the dataset explicitly state cable is included (e.g., 'basic cable TV', 'Cable TV included', 'maintenance fee covers ... cable TV'). Mentions appear repeatedly in the public remarks across many listings, though the MLS checkbox historically showed CABTV in ~7 of 20 entries; evidence is strong but somewhat less frequent than electricity/water/sewer entries.
Multiple listings and agent remarks mention that the HOA covers common area expenses ('common expenses', 'other common expenses'), and MLS checkboxes historically support this (8 of 20). Evidence is consistent across agents and listings.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence: nearly all listings and many agent remarks explicitly state 'electricity included' (e.g., 'maintenance fees include electricity', 'electricity is included with the Maintenance Fee'), with consistent repetition across the dataset indicating this is a building-level included utility.
No analysis available
Evidence is mixed: roughly half the recent listings/remarks explicitly state "hot water included" or "maintenance includes hot water" (≈9 listings reference hot water), while an appreciable subset of listings mention unit water heaters/new water heater installs or WTRHTR in inclusions (≈8 listings), suggesting some units supply their own hot water. Multiple agents repeat that hot water is included, but the WTRHTR indicators and inconsistent agent copy/paste reduce confidence.
Strong, repeated agent remarks state internet/Wi‑Fi is included (e.g., 'internet, water, sewer, trash, and unit electricity', 'basic Wi‑Fi included'), appearing across many listings and consistent with the high MLS checkbox count (~17/20).
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence across listings: nearly all MLS entries (19 of 20) show SEWER checked and multiple agent remarks explicitly state "sewer included" or "maintenance fee includes sewer." The corroboration across many agents/listings yields very high confidence that sewer is included in the maintenance fee.
Consistent and strong evidence: most listings (≈18 of 20) have the WATER checkbox set in MLS and many agent remarks explicitly say "water included" or "maintenance covers water," indicating high confidence that water is included in the HOA/maintenance fee.
Multiple listings describe the rooftop pool and deck in detail, mentioning features like cabanas, picnic/tables, and recreation areas but never reference a BBQ, barbecue, or grill. Current MLS data shows BBQ checked in only 1 of 20 listings, indicating that BBQ is likely not a true building amenity. Given the extensive marketing of the rooftop and absence of any grill-related language, the evidence points to no shared BBQ facilities in this building.

MLS checkbox history indicates 13/20 listings list patio/deck amenities and prior assessments had high confidence. The public remarks repeatedly state "rooftop pool," "sundeck," "pool deck," "patio/deck," and "cabanas," (e.g., "Pool on the 27th floor with cabanas," "rooftop pool and sundeck," "rooftop pool and patio/deck") across multiple agent listings, showing strong, consistent evidence of a shared rooftop deck/patio amenity rather than isolated or single-unit wording.

High confidence that Kapiolani Manor provides storage lockers: historical MLS checkboxes showed storage for 15 of 20 listings, and the current public remarks repeatedly state 'storage locker', 'storage unit', 'additional storage', and 'assigned storage' in many different listings (e.g., 'Storage locker', 'assigned storage locker', 'storage unit'). Evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks (some likely copy/paste), strongly confirming building-level storage is offered.
Listings frequently reference storage lockers, assigned storage, and storage lockers near parking, but none specifically reference surfboard- or board-specific storage. Searched for terms: "surfboard storage", "board storage", "surf storage", "bike and surfboard storage" and found no matches.
No analysis available
All 20 current MLS listings include the TRACHU amenity checkbox (20/20). Multiple listing remarks explicitly reference a building trash chute/trash shoot — for example: "There is a trash shoot and community laundry room on every floor for convenience." and "video security and trash chute." Evidence is consistent across different agent remarks and aligns with prior high-confidence data, indicating the building has a trash chute system.

Strong, consistent evidence that Kapiolani Manor has a shared pool: 19 of 20 MLS listings have the pool amenity checked and numerous remarks explicitly mention a "rooftop pool," "pool on the 27th floor," or "rooftop swimming pool with cabanas/sundeck." These references appear across many different agent write-ups (not just a single listing), supporting high confidence that the building offers a common rooftop pool amenity.
No analysis available
Listings repeatedly describe a rooftop/penthouse pool, cabanas, and pool deck but never state it is a saltwater pool. Searched for terms: "salt water pool", "saltwater pool", "salt pool", "saline pool" and found no matches. Therefore there is no evidence in the remarks that the pool is salt water.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence the building has shared laundry facilities: 19 of 20 recent MLS listings include the COMLAU amenity and numerous public remarks explicitly state 'laundry on each floor', 'community laundry room on every floor', or '2 washers and 2 dryers on each floor'. These phrases appear across multiple listings and agents rather than a single outlier, supporting inclusion of the community laundry feature.
Remarks explicitly reference coin-operated/paid laundry (e.g., "Coin-operated laundry located on every floor"), indicating the community laundry requires payment.
Public remarks repeatedly state there are laundry facilities on every floor (e.g., "Laundry on Every Floor", "community laundry rooms on each floor"). This feature is well-supported in the listings.
Every MLS listing shows parking checkbox enabled (20/20) and the public remarks repeatedly reference parking stalls, covered garage stalls and storage adjacent to stalls. Remarks across the marketing copy consistently say things like "covered parking stall," "parking stall located on 1st floor of garage," and "secure garage parking," indicating strong, building-level parking availability across many units and agents.
High confidence: 17 of 20 current MLS records indicate assigned parking and many public remarks explicitly state 'assigned parking', 'one assigned parking stall', or 'assigned covered parking' (examples: '1 assigned covered parking stall', 'comes with assigned parking stall'). Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, indicating the building offers assigned parking for units.
Strong evidence: 16 of 20 MLS records indicate covered/garage parking and numerous remarks explicitly mention 'covered parking', 'assigned covered stall', or 'secure garage' (examples: 'assigned covered parking in secure garage', 'covered assigned parking stall'). The repeated, specific language across listings supports that the building provides covered parking.
Reviewed all remarks for terms like 'deeded parking', 'owned parking', or 'included in deed'. Multiple listings repeatedly state 'assigned', 'covered', or 'secured' parking stalls, but none state parking is deeded or part of the deed. Therefore deeded parking not supported by remarks.
No analysis available
Searched remarks for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'parking rental', or numeric monthly amounts tied to parking. Listings consistently describe assigned/covered parking included with units but do not state any separate parking charge, so no parking fee amount or existence can be determined from remarks.
No analysis available
Moderately high evidence: MLS indicates secured entry/parking on ~10 of 20 records and many remarks include phrases like 'secured entry', 'secured parking', 'secure garage', 'key fob', and 'video security' (examples: 'secured entry, secured parking, secured elevators', 'secured/gated parking structure', 'secure garage with assigned parking'). The repeated explicit mentions across multiple listings support that parking/building access is secured.

No analysis available
Searched all remarks for references to a parking waitlist or instructions to join one. Listings repeatedly note 'assigned' or 'covered' parking but contain no references to a waitlist system, so no evidence supports a parking waitlist.
No analysis available
Listings explicitly reference electronic/key fob or keyed elevator access and secured entry, indicating card/fob access security is present.
Historical MLS data flagged SECGUA in multiple listings (7 of 20) and the current remarks repeatedly reference secured access: phrases include "secured entry", "on-site resident manager and security", "video surveillance", "secure garage/covered parking" across numerous agent remarks. Evidence is consistent across many listings (not just a single agent copy/paste) and supports that the building offers security personnel/service.
Remarks contain multiple security-related references (secured entry, gated garage, keyed elevators, video surveillance, on-site/resident manager), but none explicitly indicate a security patrol or roving/patrol service. Searched for terms: "security patrol", "roving security", "patrol service", "patrolled" and found no matches.

MLS shows ACWIUN in a small subset of units and remarks reference an in-unit air conditioner with a separate A/C fee and medical-note exception, implying window units are present in at least some condos.
All 20 current MLS listings list construction_materials='CONCRE' and multiple public remarks repeatedly call Kapiolani Manor a high‑rise (references to the 27th floor, rooftop pool/deck, 'high‑rise building', and penthouse levels). The evidence is consistent across many agent listings and matches the MLS checkbox, providing strong support that the building is concrete‑constructed.
Only 4 of 20 MLS entries currently check DOUWAL, and none of the public remarks (0/20) mention 'double wall' or 'double‑wall construction'. Given the lack of supporting remarks and no historical confidence, the evidence does not support treating the building as double‑wall construction (possible checkbox errors).
No analysis available
Dozens of public remarks for this concrete high-rise never mention masonry or stucco, and only 2 of 20 current MLS entries mark MASSTU despite long-term patterns showing it unchecked. Given the lack of textual support and the small, inconsistent MLS usage, masonry/stucco construction is very unlikely.

Numerous listings (many agent remarks across the dataset) reference rooftop pools/decks, penthouse/27th‑floor amenities, and the building as a high‑rise, which implies above‑ground construction is present throughout the building. The evidence is implied rather than an explicit 'above ground' checkbox in most remarks, so confidence is moderate (0.78) despite only a minority of current MLS checkboxes showing ABOGRO.

Searched remarks for STR-related terms (short-term rental allowed, TVU, NUC, 'vacation rental', '30-day minimum', etc.). None were found. Absence of explicit permission or STR program language suggests STRs are not confirmed; per guidance, absence = likely not allowed (medium confidence).
Because short-term rentals are not documented in the public remarks and no 'hotel rental pool' or hotel-managed program language appears, hotel pool participation is not supported by the remarks.
I searched for phrases like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'must be in rental program'. None were found. Given STR is not documented as allowed, mandatory pool participation is not supported.
No analysis available

Listings identify the property as Fee Simple, so a leasehold expiry year is not applicable. Searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease', or a 4-digit expiry year and found none.
The remarks explicitly reference an assumable VA loan including assumption terms and fees. This supports VA financing being available/approved for at least the listed unit.
Several listings explicitly state the building 'is fully insured' (walls-in coverage). This is explicit public-remark evidence for fully insured status, so set to true with high confidence.
No analysis available
I searched all public remarks for explicit language indicating the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation (e.g., 'FLSE passed', 'passed fire inspection', 'fire safety certified'). There are numerous amenity and security references (secured entry, video surveillance, resident manager, building fully insured) but no explicit FLSE or fire/life safety pass statements, so no evidence was found to mark this as passed.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Multiple public-remark segments for Kapiolani Manor explicitly state ocean or Pacific/ocean views (phrases include "ocean view," "panoramic ocean," and "sweeping ocean"). Evidence appears across many listings/agents and is consistent with prior high-confidence records, so the building should be listed as offering ocean views.
Strong evidence that the building offers mountain views: historical MLS summary showed ~14/20 listings with MOUNTA, and current remarks in many listings explicitly state phrases like "mountain views," "mauka side," and "peaceful mountain backdrop." Mentions appear across multiple agent remarks rather than a single copy/paste source, indicating the feature is broadly present in the building.
Many listing remarks explicitly reference Diamond Head ("Diamond Head," "preferred Diamond Head side," "sweeping Diamond Head"). Diamond Head views are described across numerous listings and on common rooftop amenities, providing strong evidence the building offers Diamond Head views.
Strong evidence that the building offers city views: historical MLS summary showed ~14/20 listings with CITY, and current remarks frequently include terms like "city view," "city skyline," and "panoramic city views." These references are widespread among different listings and agents, supporting inclusion of the city-view feature for the building.

Across the collected public remarks there are no mentions of 'sunrise,' 'morning sun,' or 'eastern exposure.' Given the lack of any explicit references and no prior confidence, there is strong evidence that 'sunrise view' is not an advertised building-level feature.
Evidence for sunset views comes from explicit mention of 'sunset' in a description of the rooftop pool deck's views ('Diamond Head, city, ocean, mountains and sunset') and from a unit remark highlighting enjoyment of the weekly Waikiki fireworks from the lanai. These references show that certain stacks and the shared rooftop area offer west-facing ocean/sunset vistas. Even though the MLS checkbox isn’t marked, the detailed remarks from multiple listings support treating sunset views as a building feature.

Multiple listings explicitly state Friday night/Waikiki fireworks can be seen from units/lanai, confirming a fireworks view from the building.

The building is listed with a resident/on-site manager in the MLS checkboxes (17 of 20 current listings) and historical data previously showed RESMAN checked in 18 of 20. Multiple remarks explicitly state phrases like "resident manager", "on-site resident manager", and "office hours for manager are 8-4", appearing across listings from different agents rather than isolated to one ad, indicating the feature is genuinely present.
