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 searched for explicit owner-occupancy mentions (e.g., '80% owner occupied', 'majority owner occupied', 'owner occupied') across all remarks. The listings contain only generic references to owner-occupants and owner-occupancy requirements for loan assumption, but no percentage or clear descriptive statement of owner-occupancy, so the percentage is unknown from these remarks.
The public remarks include a direct numeric statement about elevators: "3-elecvators in service." Per rules, use the number found in the remarks. High confidence because of an explicit numeric mention in the remarks.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Multiple listings explicitly state maintenance includes cable TV (remarks quote phrases like 'basic cable TV' and 'cable TV included'). Historical/current MLS support is strong (multiple agents/remarks across the dataset), though a minority of records use checkbox data so some copy/paste may exist.
Several listings mention that the maintenance/HOA fee covers 'common areas,' 'lovely common expenses,' or 'other common expenses,' which typically include common area electricity. Combined with OTCOEX being selected in many current MLS entries, this strongly supports that common-area power is included. Multiple agents over different years repeat this, suggesting a stable building policy rather than a one-off description.
No analysis available
Extremely strong and consistent evidence: nearly all listings and many agent remarks say 'electricity included' (e.g., 'maintenance fee includes electricity'). Evidence comes from many independent remarks and MLS fields, indicating building-level inclusion.
No analysis available
Several agent remarks explicitly state 'hot water' or 'hot water is included' in HOA fees (roughly the same subset of listings that list other utilities). MLS checkbox data is mixed and some units note installed water heaters, so evidence is moderately strong but not unanimous.
Clear evidence across listings: 18 of 20 MLS records list INTSER and numerous remarks state 'internet included' or 'basic Wi‑Fi' in the HOA fee. Repeated confirmations by different agents indicate internet service is routinely included.
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence across the dataset: most listings and public remarks state 'sewer' or 'sewage' is covered by the HOA/maintenance fee (e.g., 'maintenance fee includes ... sewer'). Multiple independent agent remarks confirm this building-level inclusion.
Broad confirmation across listings and remarks: many agent remarks say 'water included' or 'maintenance fee includes water', with MLS checkboxes largely matching. Evidence is strong and consistent across multiple listings.
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.

Strong evidence that the building offers shared patio/deck amenities: at least 14 of the recent listings explicitly mention rooftop pool/deck/patio features, with phrases like "rooftop pool and sundeck," "pool deck," "patio/deck on the 27th floor," and "rooftop pool deck with cabanas." Multiple agents consistently reference the same common rooftop deck/patio amenities (likely some copy/paste), providing high confidence that the building offers shared outdoor deck/patio spaces.

Strong evidence from both MLS data and listing remarks: 16/20 recent MLS listings include storage in amenities, and numerous public remarks across listings explicitly state 'storage locker', 'storage unit', 'storage #1114', or 'assigned storage locker' (examples: 'Storage Unit, 484 SF', 'storage locker on the 3rd Fl.', 'storage locker located right next to your parking space'). Multiple agents independently reference storage lockers rather than a single copy/paste occurrence, so confidence is high that the building provides storage units/lockers.
Public remarks repeatedly reference storage lockers and assigned storage, but there are no explicit mentions of surfboard- or board-specific storage. I searched for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', and 'surf storage' and found none, so surfboard_storage is set to false with medium confidence.
No analysis available
The MLS amenity checkbox for trash chute appears on all 20 listings (20/20). Several listings' remarks explicitly reference a trash chute/trash shoot (e.g., “There is a trash shoot and community laundry room on every floor” and “video security, trash chute”), so evidence is consistent across multiple agent listings rather than being a single outlier.

Strong, consistent evidence that Kapiolani Manor has a shared pool: CURRENT MLS DATA shows 19/20 listings list pool, and numerous public remarks explicitly state a rooftop/27th-floor pool (quotes: "Pool on the 27th floor with cabanas", "rooftop swimming pool", "rooftop pool and sundeck"). Mentions appear across many agent remarks and align with historical high confidence, indicating a real building amenity rather than isolated copy/paste errors.
No analysis available
The remarks repeatedly mention a rooftop pool and cabanas but do not describe the pool as salt water. Searched for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', 'saline pool' and found none, so pool_salt is set to false with medium confidence.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence that the building has shared laundry facilities: 19 of 20 recent MLS listings include the COMLAU amenity and numerous public remarks explicitly state "laundry on every floor," "2 washers and 2 dryers on each floor," or "community laundry room on every floor." Multiple agents’ remarks consistently mention the same feature, indicating it is a building-level amenity rather than an isolated unit attribute.
At least one public remark explicitly describes the laundry as coin-operated ('Coin-operated laundry located on every floor'), indicating residents must pay to use the machines. Multiple listings reference '2 washers and 2 dryers' which in one case are described as coin-op.
Public remarks repeatedly and explicitly state there are laundry facilities on every floor (e.g., 'Laundry on Every Floor', 'community laundry rooms on each floor', '2 washers & 2 dryers on each floor'). This is well-supported across many listings.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that the building offers assigned parking: at least 16 of the ~20 listing remarks explicitly mention assigned/reserved stalls (examples: 'Assigned Covered Parking in Secure Garage, Stall #7067', '1 Open Assigned Parking', 'assigned parking and storage!'). This is consistent across many agent remarks and aligns with prior MLS checkbox history, indicating a reliable building-level offering of assigned parking.
Historical MLS data indicates 16/20 listings listed covered/garage parking. Current remarks across numerous listings explicitly mention covered or secured parking—quotes include "Assigned Covered Parking in Secure Garage", "1 assigned covered parking space", and "covered assigned parking stall"—showing strong, building-wide evidence rather than isolated copy/paste. Confidence remains high that the building offers covered parking.
I searched for terms like 'deeded parking', 'owned parking', and 'parking included in deed'. Listings consistently describe 'assigned' or 'covered' parking stalls and that parking is included with the unit, but there is no explicit wording that parking is deeded/part of the deed.
No analysis available
Searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', '$', 'rental' related to parking. Listings mention assigned/covered parking included with the unit but do not state any recurring parking charge, so parking fee is unknown from remarks.
No analysis available
At least a dozen listings mention secured or gated parking using terms like 'secure garage,' 'secured covered parking stall,' and 'secured/gated parking structure,' and several unit descriptions highlight secure garage parking as a key amenity. Combined with MLS SECENT flags in half the listings and no conflicting evidence, this strongly supports that the parking has secured entry.

No analysis available
Searched for 'waitlist', 'waiting list', and related phrases. Listings describe assigned/secured parking but do not reference any waitlist system, so no evidence of a parking waitlist.
No analysis available
Multiple public remarks explicitly reference electronic/key fob access and keyed elevators (e.g., 'secure key fob', 'keyed elevators', 'secured entry'), indicating card/fob access security is present.
Several listings reference active security at Kapiolani Manor, including one that explicitly describes a “Gated building with on-site resident manager and security,” implying dedicated security personnel. Additional remarks highlight “very secure building with Keyed elevators,” “secured access to the building and parking garage,” and “video security,” and 5 of 20 current MLS entries check the SECGUA amenity. Taken together with prior medium-confidence data citing the same phrase, the evidence supports that the building offers on-site security guard services.
Listings contain many security-related mentions (secured entry, keyed elevators, video security, on-site resident manager), but none explicitly state a patrol service or roving/security patrol. Searched for phrases like 'security patrol', 'roving security', and 'patrol service' and found no explicit matches; thus security_patrol is marked false with medium confidence.

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 MLS listings (20/20) indicate 'CONCRE' for construction materials. Multiple public remarks repeatedly describe the property as a high‑rise/27‑story building and reference rooftop/27th‑floor amenities (e.g., "27th floor", "high‑rise"), which corroborates the MLS concrete construction designation across many agents rather than isolated copy‑paste.
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.

Across many listings, agents describe a standard urban high-rise with no reference to special above-ground construction, and the ABOGRO checkbox appears only in 2/20 MLS records. This sparse and inconsistent MLS usage, combined with silent remarks, indicates the building is not of a distinct ‘above ground’ construction type.

Searched for 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'NUC', '30-day minimum', 'TVU' and similar terms. There are no remarks permitting STR or describing STR rules, so based on remarks STR is not indicated (set to false with moderate/low confidence). Per instructions, if STR is false, related pool/rental-pool fields are set to false as well.
Searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', brand-managed rental programs; none are referenced. Because STR is not indicated, hotel-pool participation is set to false.
Searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', 'must be in rental program' and similar phrases. Nothing in the remarks indicates a mandatory rental-pool, so this is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring' and specific years. All public remarks instead identify the units as Fee Simple and contain no 4-digit lease expiry year, so the lease expiry is not applicable/unknown.
Multiple listings explicitly reference an assumable VA loan and assumption requirements, which indicates the project/unit is VA-related and VA financing is available. This explicit statement in the remarks supports a high-confidence true.
Multiple listings explicitly state 'Kapiolani Manor is fully insured,' which matches the defined phrasing indicating HOA/walls-in coverage. Per rules, explicit mention yields true with high confidence.
No analysis available
I searched all public remarks for explicit language indicating a passed fire/life safety evaluation (e.g., 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'passed fire inspection'). Nothing matching those search terms appears in the remarks, so there is no documentary evidence the building passed an FLSE in these listings.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Despite limited MLS OCEAN flags, a large number of remarks describe ocean or Pacific views from units and the rooftop pool deck.
Multiple recent public remarks for Kapiolani Manor explicitly mention mountain or mauka views (phrases include "mountain view," "mauka side," "peaceful mountain and city views," and "Diamond Head...mountain views"). Roughly 15–20 of the aggregated listings reference mountain or mauka views from units and/or the rooftop, showing consistent, strong confirmation across different agent remarks rather than a single copy/paste error. This corroborates the building offering mountain views for buyers searching for that feature.
Though MLS view_descriptions rarely mark Diamond Head, many remarks clearly describe Diamond Head views from units and the rooftop deck.
Dozens of recent public remarks explicitly reference city views (examples: "city views," "city skyline," "panoramic city views"). Although the MLS view_descriptions checkbox currently shows CITY=0, the large volume of agent remarks across many listings consistently describe city/urban views from units and the rooftop, indicating the building does offer city views. Evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents, not limited to a single ad.

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.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly state that the Waikiki/Friday night fireworks are visible from units/lanai (e.g., 'Waikiki Fireworks Show every Friday night enjoyed from your Lanai balcony'), confirming fireworks view from the building.

Historical MLS checkbox data shows RESMAN checked in 18 of 20 listings. Current remarks across the listing set explicitly reference an on-site/resident manager (appearing in numerous agent remarks, including phrases like "on-site resident manager" and "Office hours for manager are 8-4, M-F"), indicating the building does have a resident manager; the evidence is consistent across multiple agents and aligns with prior MLS data.
