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.

16 of 20 recent MLS listings list common area electricity (OTCOEX) in association_fee_includes. Public remarks for the building do not explicitly mention common-area electric billing or a change, and multiple listings reuse similar amenity language (suggesting some copy/paste), so the MLS checkbox evidence remains strong across agents.

Despite a few MLS checkboxes for HOTWAT, the presence of in‑unit water heaters on multiple listings and the lack of any remarks saying 'hot water included in maintenance fee' point to hot water not being an association-paid utility. A single reference to a central water heater does not clearly tie it to HOA coverage. Overall, evidence supports that owners are responsible for their own hot water rather than it being included in the fee.

19 of 20 recent MLS listings indicate sewer is included in association fees. None of the provided public remarks state that sewer is charged separately or note a change, so the consistent MLS checkbox usage across many listings supports inclusion.
19 of 20 recent MLS listings list water as included in the association fees. While remarks note a 'central water heater,' they do not state that water is billed separately; the large, consistent number of listings with WATER checked supports inclusion despite limited explicit wording in remarks.
Strong evidence: ~15+ of the 20 current listings/public remarks explicitly state 'BBQ', 'BBQ area', or 'barbecue area' (e.g., 'BBQ areas perfect for gatherings', 'building offers ... BBQ area'). Mentions appear across many agent remarks and align with the MLS checkbox prevalence, indicating a building-level shared BBQ amenity.

Confidence 98%: Although only 4 of 14 MLS entries use PATDEC/COVPAT, nearly every remark emphasizes a large private lanai or balcony (often ~169 sq. ft.) accessible from living room and bedroom.

Moderate-to-strong evidence: several listings mention 'clubhouse', 'clubhouse/rec area', or 'covered outdoor/recreation space for gathering' (roughly 4–6 listings). References are consistent across different remarks but not as pervasive as BBQ, so confidence is slightly lower but still supports including a building recreation area.

Evidence supports inclusion: while explicit 'trash chute' text appears in a smaller number of the provided public remarks (one clear explicit mention), the MLS checkbox prevalence (about 15/20) and prior high-confidence history indicate the building offers a trash/garbage chute system. Multiple agents appear to have confirmed this in their listings, though some copy/paste may be present.

High-confidence evidence the building has a swimming pool: 20/20 current MLS listings include pool amenity codes and numerous public remarks reference a pool. Representative phrases include 'swimming pool', 'community pool', 'large pool', and 'resort like pool,' consistently noted across multiple agent listings.

Strong, consistent evidence that some units in the building have in-unit laundry: current listings repeatedly state phrases like 'in-unit laundry', 'washer/dryer in unit', 'WASHER/DRYER IN UNIT', and 'stacked washer/dryer'. Data source indicates 18 of 20 recent listings include washer/dryer in inclusions, and multiple agents across listings mention the feature, so it is highly likely the building offers units with in-unit laundry (though agent copy/paste is possible, the volume and specificity of remarks support inclusion).

High confidence: 16/20 recent MLS records list assigned parking and the remarks consistently state phrases like "one assigned covered parking stall", "assigned parking stall", and "assigned stall" across multiple agent listings. Evidence is consistent across many listings and unlikely to be copy-paste error.
Covered parking is consistently represented: 14 of 20 current MLS records include covered/garage parking codes and many remarks explicitly state phrases such as "assigned covered parking stall", "covered gated parking", or "secured covered parking garage." Evidence is strong and repeated across multiple listings/agents (though some language may be copy-paste), supporting that the building offers covered parking.
There is clear evidence of assigned/covered parking stalls and secured gated parking, but no explicit language that parking is deeded/owned with the unit—therefore not marked as deeded.
No analysis available
Listings explicitly mention an extra parking stall being rented at $150/month, indicating a monthly parking rental fee is available.
Strong evidence: 11/20 MLS records list guest parking and many remarks state "guest parking", "6 guest parking stalls", or "visitor parking/ample visitor parking." Multiple listings and agents reference guest stalls, supporting inclusion as a building amenity.
Confidence 95%: Though only 3 of 14 MLS listings check SECENT, remarks explicitly mention “secured gate building entry,” “gated covered parking,” “covered, secure garage,” and “Secure gated covered parking stall.”

MLS checkbox data indicates 16 of 20 listings include ACWIUN and numerous public remarks explicitly reference window air conditioning (examples: 'window AC', 'window A/C', '2 window AC units', and 'AC unit in the living room'). Evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents rather than a single outlier, so the building should be listed as offering window AC units.
Strong evidence the building is concrete: 16 of 20 current MLS listings include CONCRE in construction_materials and historical data also supported concrete construction (11 of 14). Public remarks do not explicitly state 'concrete', but the consistent, multi-agent MLS reporting provides strong corroboration across listings.
Minimal support for double-wall construction: only 2 of 20 current MLS listings have DOUWAL checked and none of the public remarks reference 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction.' With no historical evidence and no remarks confirming the feature, it appears to be an isolated/erroneous checkbox rather than a building-wide attribute.
No analysis available
Across 20 listings for Kinau Lanais, only 3 show MASSTU in construction_materials and 17 do not, indicating agents generally do not consider this a masonry/stucco building. None of the public remarks reference masonry or stucco construction. This pattern strongly suggests the MASSTU entries are sporadic input errors rather than a true description of the building’s construction.

Searched for 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'NUC', 'TVU', '30-day minimum', and related terms; no STR-related permissions or programs were mentioned, so STR is not indicated in the remarks.
Because the remarks contain no mention of short-term rentals or any hotel rental program, there is no evidence the building participates in a hotel rental pool.
No remarks indicate any rental pool participation—mandatory or optional—so mandatory hotel-pool participation is not supported by the public remarks.

Searched remarks for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'ground lease ends', and specific years; found no lease-expiry information, so the lease expiry year is unknown.
Multiple listings explicitly reference VA approval and an assumable VA loan (including loan terms), confirming VA financing is available for this building.
Remarks describe amenities, maintenance fees, building services, and on-site management but never state that the HOA provides walls-in or full building insurance. With no explicit mention, the listing does not confirm full building insurance; marked false with medium confidence.
Only 1 of 20 current MLS listings includes the FIRSPR amenity flag, and none of the public remarks (0/20) mention 'fire sprinkler', 'sprinkler system', or 'fire suppression'. Given the lack of any textual confirmation across multiple agent remarks and the very low prevalence of the checkbox, it is most likely the building does not have a fire sprinkler system; the single checked listing appears to be an agent data entry error.
Listings highlight security, gated entry and a resident manager but do not mention any fire/life safety evaluation or certification. In absence of any remark indicating an FLSE pass, we mark as not stated (false) with medium confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Many listing remarks for this building explicitly mention ocean or makai views — examples include "partial ocean and city views", "panoramic ocean, mountain and city views", and "ocean views from the lanai." These references appear across a majority of the unit listings (approximately 12–15 separate remarks), indicating several units have ocean views despite the MLS view_descriptions checkbox being unset.

City/downtown/skyline views are repeatedly cited across the listing remarks — phrases include "sweeping city and mountain views", "expansive city views", and "city and skyline views." These confirmations appear across many listings (roughly 15–18 remarks), matching prior high-confidence historical data and indicating the building offers city-view units.

There are no explicit mentions of 'sunset', 'western exposure', or similar phrasing in the provided remarks (mentions instead include 'sunrise' and 'city lights'). Given only 1/20 MLS listings historically included SUNSET and the lack of corroborating remarks here, evidence is weak and we mark sunset views as not supported.

At least 15 listings explicitly mention a resident/on-site manager with phrases like "on-site resident manager", "Resident Mgr office in the lobby", and "EXCELLENT ON-SITE MANAGER", matching the historical MLS checkbox (15/20). The evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks and listing descriptions, indicating the building does have an on-site resident manager.
