Kapiolani Residence
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.

The public remarks contain no quantitative or qualitative statements about owner-occupancy. Without an explicit percentage or descriptor in the remarks, owner-occupancy cannot be determined from the provided text.
The public remarks do not state how many elevators the building has. I searched the full remarks for numeric and textual references (e.g., '4 elevators', 'four elevators', 'multiple elevators') and found no evidence to determine a count.
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.

Strong evidence across listings: MLS checkbox CABTV appears on 14 of 20 current listings and multiple agent remarks explicitly state 'maintenance fees include cable' or 'cable TV' (e.g., 'maintenance fee covers internet, water, sewer, and cable TV' and 'includes cable and internet service'). Evidence appears consistent across different agents and listings.
Evidence does not support common-area electricity being included: although 9/20 MLS entries list OTCOEX historically, agent remarks do not describe 'common electric' being paid by the HOA and at least one remark states electricity is sub-metered and billed separately. This indicates common electric is not generally included.

Very strong evidence hot water is not included: MLS does not show HOTWAT for any listings, many units list WTRHTR (in-unit water heaters), and no public remarks claim 'hot water included' or similar. This supports setting fee_inc_hot_water = false.
Strong and consistent evidence: MLS shows INTSER on 14 of 20 listings and numerous agent remarks explicitly state internet is included in the low maintenance fees (e.g., 'maintenance fee covers internet' and 'includes cable and internet service').
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence: 18 of 20 current MLS entries list SEWER in association_fee_includes and multiple public remarks explicitly say maintenance/HOA fees include sewer (e.g., 'low maintenance fee includes water and sewer'). This is consistent across listings and agents.
Strong evidence water is included: 18 of 20 MLS entries list WATER in association_fee_includes and multiple agent remarks explicitly mention HOA/maintenance fees include water (often paired with sewer and internet/cable). The messaging is consistent across listings.
Strong evidence the building offers BBQ/grilling facilities: 19/20 current MLS listings list BBQ and numerous public remarks state phrases like "barbecue area," "BBQ areas," and "amenity deck...to gather and grill." The mentions appear across multiple agents/listings and align with historical high confidence.

No substantive evidence of a concierge service: across the many public remarks reviewed there are zero explicit mentions of 'concierge' or 'concierge service' (remarks instead reference on-site management or a resident manager). Although 4 of 20 MLS records currently have the CONCIE checkbox checked, the lack of any explicit phrasing in public remarks and historical absence indicate the concierge service is not supported by available listing text.

Moderate-to-strong evidence the building has a meeting/conference room: 5/20 current MLS listings include MEEROO and multiple remarks state "meeting room" or reference a party/rec room suitable for gatherings. Mentions are explicit in agent remarks across listings, so the feature is included.
Numerous current listings (multiple independent remarks across the dataset) describe building-level outdoor amenities: phrases include "amenity deck offers space to gather and grill," "recreation deck," "BBQ area," "outdoor pavilions," and "cabanas" (including a noted 9th-floor recreational deck). Historical data showed high confidence for a shared deck and the repeated, detailed mentions across many agents confirm the building provides a patio/deck amenity.

Evidence supports a building recreation area: 6/20 current MLS listings list RECARE and multiple remarks reference "recreation deck," "recreation room," and an "amenities deck" with outdoor pavilions and cabanas. The feature is described explicitly in several listings and consistent with prior high-confidence data.
Remarks describe a “recreation room” on the amenities deck, a “comfortable recreation room to host your next small gathering,” and a “party room” alongside other building amenities. These repeated references from multiple listings strongly support that the building has a shared recreation/party room.

Searched remarks for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage' and variations and found none. With only bike storage noted, there's no evidence of dedicated surfboard storage.

Strong evidence for a trash chute: 18/20 current MLS listings list TRACHU and public remarks explicitly mention "trash chute" within the building amenities. The consistent, repeated mentions across listings support high confidence.

Searched remarks for 'pool', 'salt water', 'saltwater', 'salt pool' and found no references. Building context confirms there is no pool.
Strong evidence that some units in Kapiolani Residence have in-unit laundry: numerous listings (many separate public remarks) explicitly mention "in unit washer and dryer", "stackable front-load washer and dryer", or "full-sized washer and dryer." Combined with prior MLS data (19/20 listings listing washer/dryer), the evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings, indicating the building offers units with in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
Searched for 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card operated', 'paid laundry' and found no matches. With in-unit washers/dryers repeatedly mentioned, there is no evidence of paid community laundry.
I searched remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found none. Multiple listings explicitly describe in-unit washers and dryers, not shared laundry on each floor.
No analysis available
Assigned parking is consistently advertised for this building: multiple listings (matching the MLS count of ~11/20) explicitly state 'assigned parking stall' or 'one assigned parking stall' and several unit descriptions note 'your own assigned parking stall.' Evidence comes from multiple agents and aligns with prior high-confidence MLS checkbox entries, indicating building-level assigned/reserved stalls are offered (though some units note uncovered assigned stalls).
Covered parking is well-supported: the MLS indicates covered parking in ~17/20 listings and multiple public remarks explicitly state 'covered parking stall', 'one covered secured parking stall', or '2 covered side by side parking.' Evidence is strong across many agent listings, confirming the building offers covered/garage-style parking stalls (while some listings also reference uncovered assigned spaces for specific units).
I searched for explicit wording that parking is deeded/owned with the unit. Multiple listings mention assigned or included stalls (e.g., 'one assigned parking stall', 'assigned uncovered parking space'), but none say 'deeded' or 'owned', so cannot conclude parking is deeded from the remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', or amounts (e.g., '$') and found no pricing or monthly charge information. Since no fee is referenced in the remarks, the monthly parking fee is unknown from these listings.
Evidence supports that guest parking is available: 10/20 current MLS entries include guest parking and multiple remarks reference guest parking (quotes: "Generous 24 stalls of guest parking", "amenities include guest parking", "ample guest parking"). Mentions appear in multiple listings and are consistent with historical records, so include parking_guest=true with high confidence.
Remarks note a 'secured entrance' and specifically describe '1 covered secured parking stall', indicating that at least some stalls are behind controlled access. Additional phrases like 'secure access' and 24-hour security support the presence of a secured parking facility rather than an open lot. Even if not all stalls are equally described, the building clearly offers secured-entry parking.

I searched for 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list', and similar terms across all remarks and found no references. Absence of mention suggests there is no advertised waitlist in the public remarks.
No analysis available
I searched for 'key card access', 'fob access', 'card reader', and 'keycard' and found no explicit mentions. While the building is described as secure, there's no direct evidence of card/fob access.
Strong evidence that the building provides security staff: historical MLS checkbox data included SECGUA in 15 of 20 listings, and current public remarks across roughly eight listings explicitly reference 'security staff', 'professional security', 'security team', and at least one mentions '24-hour security'. Mentions appear across multiple agents' remarks (not limited to a single listing), supporting a high-confidence inclusion.
Multiple listings describe friendly on-site management and professional security staff, including references to 24-hour security and security teams, supporting that the building has security patrol/staff.
No analysis available
Evidence does not support central air for the building: 0 of 20 listings have the central AC checkbox in unit features (only 1/20 had an inclusion flag), and none of the public remarks mention 'central AC' or 'central air.' Instead, many listings explicitly state 'split AC' or 'split system air conditioning' (e.g., 'Enjoy the comfort of split AC', 'split AC units in each space'), suggesting individual unit systems rather than a building-wide central system.
Strong building-level evidence: 19 of 20 MLS listings include ACSPL and numerous public remarks explicitly state split/ductless systems (e.g., "Enjoy the comfort of split AC", "split ac units in each space", "split AC systems in each room", "2 split AC systems"). Mentions appear across many agent listings rather than a single outlier, supporting that multiple units in Kapiolani Residence have split (ductless/mini-split) AC.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that the building is concrete: 18 of 20 recent MLS listings mark CONCRE in construction materials, and multiple public remarks explicitly call it a 'glass, and concrete high-rise' (e.g., 'Highly popular 45-story, glass, and concrete high-rise Kapiolani Residence'). The consistency across many listings and agents indicates a reliable building-level concrete construction.
Five of 20 MLS listings have DOUWAL checked but there are zero public-remarks references to 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction'. With no descriptive confirmation in agent remarks and limited, inconsistent checkbox presence, the evidence indicates the building does not feature double-wall construction.

Only 2 of 20 MLS listings currently list BRICK and there are no public-remarks mentions such as 'brick exterior' or 'brick construction' across the listings. Given the absence of supporting remarks and low prevalence in MLS checkboxes, the evidence indicates the building is not brick-built (the few BRICK checks appear to be isolated/checkbox errors).
No analysis available
I searched for 'short-term rental', 'STR', 'vacation rental', '30-day minimum', 'owner-occupant only', 'NUC', and similar phrases and found none. Given the HHFDC affordability/buyback restrictions repeatedly mentioned (e.g., 'Buyer must be an HHFDC eligible purchaser' and 'Buy Back' limitations), there is no evidence in the public remarks that STRs are allowed.
I searched for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', 'managed by hotel', and brand-associated rental wording and found none. Because there is no evidence STRs are allowed and no mention of hotel pool participation, this is false.
I searched for 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', 'must be in rental program' and found no language indicating mandatory participation. With no evidence of STR/hotel-pool and no statements requiring participation, mandatory pool is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for explicit lease/ground-lease expiry years (e.g., 'lease expires 2050' or 'renewed through 2075') and found none. Listings mention HHFDC buyback periods and years remaining (e.g., '4 YEARS LEFT on HHFDC BUYBACK PERIOD', 'Only 5 yrs left') but do not state a leasehold expiry year, so the expiry year is unknown.
I searched all public remarks for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans accepted' and found no references. Absence of explicit VA language in any listing leads to a negative determination with low-medium confidence.
The public remarks explicitly state the building is fully insured beginning Dec 6, 2024, which supports a high-confidence true value for fully insured (walls-in) coverage.
Current MLS checkboxes show 10 of 20 listings marked FIRSPR and historically 11 of 20 listings marked it. Public remarks explicitly state a "bonus in unit fire sprinkler" in at least one listing, supporting the MLS amenity. Evidence is consistent across MLS data and at least one agent remark, so building-level sprinklers are very likely present.
There is no explicit statement in the public remarks that the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation. Absence of any FLSE/fire-inspection language in the remarks suggests it is not reported here (medium-low confidence).
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Confidence 98%: Although only 5/20 MLS view_descriptions explicitly list OCEAN, many remarks clearly describe ocean views, including "breathtaking ocean and beach views," "spectacular ocean and mountain views," "Mountain & Ocean Views – Corner 2-bedroom," and "Panoramic Diamond Head, Ocean, Canal, Mountain and City views." These references across multiple high-floor units show that some units in the building offer ocean views.
Multiple current listing remarks (over a dozen separate remarks) explicitly cite mountain/mauka views—phrases include "mountain views" and "Wake up to soothing mountain views." Historical MLS data previously indicated High confidence for mountain views, and the current remarks consistently confirm that many units offer mountain vistas across different listings and agents.
Limited but explicit evidence: at least one listing specifically states "Panoramic Diamond Head, Ocean, Canal, Mountain and City views," so buyers could find units with Diamond Head views. Evidence is isolated to a small number of remarks, so confidence is moderate.
Numerous listing remarks (over a dozen separate remarks) explicitly reference city or downtown views—key phrases include "sweeping city views" and "city and mountain views." This consistent, repeated evidence across multiple agent remarks confirms the building offers city-view units, in line with previously high historical confidence.

Across all provided listings, agents repeatedly market ocean, mountain, city, sunset, and fireworks views but never mention sunrise, morning sun, or eastern exposure. Together with 0/20 MLS records flagging SUNRIS, this suggests with high confidence that sunrise views are not a meaningful or advertised feature of this building.
Multiple listings (at least 6) explicitly reference sunset or evening views, with phrases like "glowing sunsets," "sunset views," and "sunset views and fireworks visible over Waikiki on Friday nights." These repeated, explicit remarks across different unit listings corroborate prior MLS data and show the building offers sunset-view units.
No analysis available
Several public remarks explicitly state fireworks are visible from the building/units on Friday nights, indicating the building has fireworks views from units.

The RESMAN amenity is present on 15 of 20 current listings and is repeatedly corroborated in public remarks: agents describe "friendly on-site management," "professional security," and explicitly "resident manager on property." Multiple listings across agents consistently reference on-site management, supporting inclusion of this feature.
