I looked for phrases like "80% owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," or similar occupancy descriptions, but none appeared in the remarks. The only owner-related language refers to a buyer needing to be owner-occupant for a VA assumption, which does not indicate the building’s owner-occupancy rate.
Multiple public remarks support that Kapiolani Manor has 3 elevators, and one listing states this directly. This matches the current building context and is strongly confirmed by the remarks.

Cable TV is repeatedly described as included in the maintenance fee across the listing pool. Several remarks explicitly say "cable," "basic cable TV," or "Cable Tv and water & sewer are included," which aligns with the current MLS CABTV checkbox in 8/20 listings. This looks like consistent building-level copy rather than a one-off agent claim.
A number of listings state that maintenance includes "other common expenses," "common expenses," or similar wording. The current MLS data also has OTCOEX checked in 6/20 listings, reinforcing that building/common-area costs are part of the fees. This appears to be a building-level inclusion, though less uniformly advertised than electricity or water.
No analysis available
Electricity is one of the most consistently reported inclusions for this building. The current MLS data shows ELECTR in 19/20 listings, and many remarks say "electricity included" or list electricity among all-inclusive maintenance fees. This is high-confidence building-level evidence.
No analysis available
Hot water is mentioned directly in multiple remarks, including phrases like "maintenance fee includes electricity, hot water, water, sewer & internet" and "includes electricity, cable TV, hot water and sewer." The current MLS data shows HOTWAT in 11/20 listings, which is moderate support. Some units mention a new water heater, so there is limited conflict, but the fee language still supports inclusion at the building level.
Internet is repeatedly listed as part of the HOA/maintenance package, including phrases like "WIFI included," "internet service," and "basic Wi-Fi." The current MLS data shows INTSER in 18/20 listings, which matches the public remarks very closely. This is strong building-level evidence.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is consistently advertised across the listings, often alongside water and electricity. The current MLS data shows SEWER in 19/20 listings, and remarks frequently say "water & sewer included" or "maintenance fee covers electricity, water, sewer." This is high-confidence building-level evidence.
Water is one of the most consistently included fee items in the remarks, commonly appearing with electricity and sewer. The current MLS data shows WATER in 19/20 listings, and many descriptions explicitly say "water included" or "maintenance fee covers electricity, water, sewer." This is high-confidence building-level evidence.
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 Kapiolani Manor offers patio/deck amenities. Across many listings, remarks explicitly mention a "lanai" in units and shared amenities such as "rooftop pool and sundeck," "recreation deck," "pool deck," and "patio deck," with at least a dozen listings supporting it. The repeated references across multiple agents make this feature highly reliable.

Storage is very strongly supported for Kapiolani Manor. Roughly 30+ public remarks explicitly mention a "storage locker," "storage unit," "extra storage," or "additional storage," often alongside parking stall details, which suggests this is a common building amenity rather than a one-off copy-paste error. Combined with the historically high MLS checkbox rate, evidence is overwhelming that the building offers storage units/lockers.
I searched for surfboard-specific storage references, including surfboard storage, board storage, and surf storage, but found none. The listings do mention general storage lockers and storage areas, but not surfboard storage.
No analysis available
Trash chute is strongly supported for this building. Current MLS amenities show TRACHU in 19/20 listings, and several remarks explicitly reference a 'trash chute'/'trash shoot,' including one listing that says 'trash chute and community laundry on each floor.' The consistency across MLS data and agent remarks indicates this is a real building feature, not a copy-paste error.

Strong, consistent evidence that Kapiolani Manor has a shared pool. Dozens of remarks mention it directly, including phrases like "rooftop pool," "pool on the 27th floor," and "swimming pool on the roof top," often paired with cabanas or a sundeck, indicating this is a building amenity rather than a unit-specific feature.
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for explicit salt-water pool language and found none. The listings mention a rooftop pool, pool deck, cabanas, and views, but nothing indicates that the pool is salt water.
No analysis available
Strong, repeated evidence that Kapiolani Manor has shared laundry facilities. Across the remarks, many listings mention "community laundry on each floor," "laundry facilities on every floor," or specific washer/dryer counts, suggesting this is a consistent building amenity rather than a copy-paste error. The MLS history is also strongly aligned, with 19 of 20 recent listings carrying the COMLAU amenity.
Public remarks directly identify the laundry as coin-operated, which means residents must pay to use it. I looked for coin-op, coin laundry, quarters, card-operated, and laundry fee language, and found explicit paid-laundry wording.
The listings consistently confirm laundry facilities on every floor of the building. I searched for floor-by-floor laundry, same-floor laundromat, and community laundry room references, and found repeated matches across many remarks.
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.
Assigned parking is strongly supported across the listing remarks. Many units explicitly state 'assigned parking,' 'reserved covered parking stall,' or 'one assigned parking space,' often alongside storage. The evidence is consistent across many agents and does not look like a one-off copy-paste error.
Covered parking is very well established in the remarks and MLS data. Numerous listings reference 'covered parking stall,' 'secure garage,' or 'secured covered parking,' which confirms the building offers covered parking options. The evidence is broad and repeated across many listings.
I looked for deeded/owned parking language, but the remarks only say assigned, covered, secured, or included parking stall. Without an explicit deeded reference, I cannot mark this true from public remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee, monthly parking charge, parking rental, or additional parking cost wording. The listings consistently describe parking as included or assigned, but no separate fee is stated.
No analysis available
There is strong evidence that parking and building access are secured. Many remarks explicitly say 'secured entry,' 'secured parking,' 'secured/gated parking structure,' or 'secure garage,' and several also mention video security or keyed elevators. The feature appears consistently across multiple listings rather than from a single source.

I looked for parking waitlist, waiting list, or join-the-list language and found nothing. The remarks instead repeatedly describe assigned parking stalls, so there is no public evidence of a waitlist system.
No analysis available
The building is consistently described as having electronic or keyed access security. I looked for key card, fob, card reader, electronic access, and keycard entry wording, and found strong matches such as key fob and keyed elevators.
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.
I searched for patrol-service wording such as security patrol, roving security, and patrolled building, but found no explicit references. The remarks describe secured access, video security, resident manager, and security staff, but not patrol service.

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.
Strong building-level evidence supports concrete construction. The current MLS data is unanimous (20 of 20 listings) with construction_materials='CONCRE', and remarks repeatedly refer to Kapiolani Manor as a "high-rise" in Honolulu. This appears consistent across many listings and agents rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
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.

I searched for STR, vacation rental, NUC, TVU, and similar permission language, but the remarks do not reference any short-term rental allowance. The only rental-related wording is generic investor language, which is not evidence of STR approval.
I looked for hotel rental pool references and found none. Since there is no evidence that STR is allowed, this must remain false as well.
I searched for required rental-program language such as mandatory pool membership, cannot opt out, or must participate wording, and found nothing. Because there is no STR/hotel pool evidence, mandatory participation is also false.

I searched for ground lease, leasehold, lease expiry, lease end, and renewal language, but found none. The repeated fee simple references indicate this is not a leasehold building in the remarks provided, so there is no lease expiry year to extract.
The remarks directly reference VA financing through an assumable VA loan, which is strong public evidence that VA loan use is supported here. No contradictory language appears in the listings.
The public remarks directly state that the building is fully insured, which aligns with the current value. This is repeated across multiple listings, so confidence is high.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for explicit fire/life-safety language such as FLSE, fire safety certification, life safety compliance, and passed fire inspection, but found none. Because this feature is only determined from public remarks and there is no direct evidence, it remains unconfirmed.
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 the building offers mountain views: current remarks mention them in many listings, with phrases such as 'mountain views,' 'sweeping mountain,' 'Mauka-side,' and 'Diamond Mountain view.' This appears across multiple agents and stacks, not just isolated copy-paste, and is consistent with the historical high-confidence MLS pattern showing many listings with MOUNTA in the view description.
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.
City views are strongly supported across the current remarks, with many listings explicitly saying 'city views,' 'city skyline,' 'Honolulu city views,' and 'city lights.' The pattern is broad and consistent across multiple listings, matching the historical MLS evidence that most view descriptions include CITY.

Multiple current remarks explicitly reference marina/canal views—phrases include 'Ala Wai Canal', 'marina/canal', and 'marina view' (appearing in at least 6 different listing remarks), indicating that some units in the building offer marina/canal views despite the MLS checkbox showing MARCAN for only one listing. Remarks are explicit and consistent enough to include this building-level feature.
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.
Sunset views are supported by multiple current remarks, though less frequently than mountain or city views. Key phrases include 'sunset' in the rooftop pool deck view description, 'evening' on the lanai, and 'Friday night firework view,' which together indicate the building offers sunset-oriented western exposure or equivalent sunset viewing opportunities.
No analysis available
The building clearly offers direct fireworks views from units, not just proximity to fireworks venues. I searched for wording about seeing fireworks from the lanai, unit, or building, and found explicit confirmations.

Historical MLS data shows RESMAN checked on ~16 of 20 listings and numerous current remarks explicitly mention a resident or on-site manager across multiple listings. Key phrases found include "resident manager", "on-site resident manager", "on-site resident manager and security", and specific notes like "office hours for manager are 8-4, M-F", indicating the feature is consistently reported by multiple agents rather than a single copy/paste instance.
