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.

Building Features & Data Confidence
All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.
All MLS property records for this building consistently show a 1950 construction year. Remarks support only that there was a later condo conversion/remodel, not new construction, so 1950 is accepted as the build year.
Remarks from one listing describe the complex as a 'three story walk up.' No other listings contradict this, and all observed unit floors (1–3) fit this structure. Therefore the building is concluded to have 3 floors.
Across all supplied remarks, there is no reference to how many units are in the complex. Without any textual or MLS-count evidence, the total unit count for this building cannot be reliably determined.
The text includes various occupancy types (tenant-occupied, Airbnb, one owner-occupied unit) but no statement of overall building owner-occupancy like "X% owner occupied" or "majority owner occupants." With no building-wide data in the remarks, the existing 45% value is retained.
The phrase "three story walk up" indicates that residents use stairs to access upper floors, meaning there are no elevators in the building. This aligns with the current building context of a small 3-story structure. No remarks suggest the presence of any elevator.
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.
None of the 6 listings indicate central AC is included in the maintenance fee, and there are no comments about building-provided or HOA-covered air conditioning. This supports that any cooling is individual (e.g., tradewinds, window units) and not a fee-included central system.
Across 6 recent listings for this building, no agents checked the MLS box for cable in the association fee and no remarks state that cable TV is included. This strongly suggests cable is billed separately to owners/tenants rather than covered by the maintenance fee.
Most recent listings (4 out of 6) mark common/other electricity as included in the association fee. Given typical condo practice and the consistency across multiple agents, it is very likely that common-area power is covered by the maintenance fee.
All remarks characterize the property as a condo, including mention of a "condo conversion" in 2013, and no listings check co-op taxes as part of the HOA. This strongly indicates there are no cooperative taxes included in the maintenance fee.
Across 6 listings, no agents indicate electricity is part of the HOA and no public remarks say "electricity included" or similar. This supports that residents pay their own electric bills separately from the maintenance fee.
No current listings show gas as an included association-fee item, and the public comments never mention gas utilities at all. This makes it very likely that gas, if present, is not included in the maintenance fee.
A majority of the listings explicitly mark hot water as included in the HOA, and no units advertise individual water heaters. This pattern strongly suggests that building-supplied hot water is covered by the maintenance fee.
None of the six reviewed listings indicate that internet service is paid through the HOA, and there are no phrases like "internet included" or "Wi-Fi included" in the comments. This supports that residents contract and pay for internet separately.
Listings highlight Ala Wai and Waikiki proximity but make no reference to any marina amenities or boat slip rights included with the building. Combined with the MLS data, this indicates there is no marina component in the association fee.
Every recent listing for this building shows sewer as part of the association fee, and no remarks suggest otherwise. This consistent MLS data across multiple agents gives very strong evidence that sewer charges are included in the maintenance fee.
Water is uniformly marked as included in the HOA across all six listings reviewed. The consistency of this checkbox data, along with the absence of any contrary remarks, indicates that water service is covered by the maintenance fee.
None of the unit descriptions refer to any BBQ area, grill, or outdoor cooking facilities. Combined with all MLS entries omitting the BBQ amenity, this strongly indicates the building lacks shared BBQ facilities.
None of the 6 listings check a bike storage amenity, and no remarks mention bike storage, bike room, or similar facilities. The repeated omission across multiple listings and agents indicates the building does not have dedicated bicycle storage.
The building overlooks the Ala Wai but is not marketed as having boat slips or dock access, which would be a key selling point if present. MLS also never flags a marina/dock amenity, so a boat dock is very unlikely.
Agents talk about parking stalls and their rental cost but never about a wash bay or car wash station. The total absence of this amenity in MLS supports that there is no car wash facility.
The complex is portrayed as a simple walk-up without shared club or community facilities. The lack of any clubhouse references in remarks or MLS suggests this feature does not exist.
None of the six listings describe concierge or front-desk services, and CONCIE is 0/6 in amenities. For a small walk-up like this, the consistent absence in both remarks and checkboxes indicates there is no concierge service.
Pets or pet facilities are not discussed in any of the provided remarks. The consistent absence of a dog park amenity in MLS indicates there is no on-site dog park or dog run.
The complex is portrayed as a modest, three-story walk-up without any reference to staffed entry services. Given 0/6 DOORMA checkboxes and no textual mentions, it is highly unlikely the building has a doorman or similar lobby attendant.
Across all provided remarks there is no reference to an exercise room, fitness center, or gym. With all 6 MLS records also leaving the exercise room amenity unchecked, it is very likely this building does not offer this feature.
The building is a modest walk-up, not marketed as a luxury high-rise, and there is no mention of any car or limousine service. This, along with MLS data, makes it virtually certain that no limo or house-car service is provided.
None of the marketing remarks promote any meeting or conference space. With MLS also not indicating such a room, the building almost certainly has no dedicated meeting room.
Across all provided remarks for this building, there is no reference to a patio, deck, lanai, or other dedicated outdoor amenity space. Combined with MLS data showing no patio/deck amenity box checked on any of 6 listings, this strongly suggests the building does not offer a distinct patio/deck amenity.
While the neighborhood offers outdoor recreation, there is no claim of a dedicated jogging or fitness path within the property. The MLS data likewise never checks a jogging path amenity, implying none exists on-site.
The building is marketed to adults and investors, with no mention of play structures or kids' areas. MLS data also does not flag a playground, so this amenity is almost certainly not offered.
No listing mentions a private yard, fenced yard, or private outdoor garden area for any unit. With MLS data also lacking any private yard amenity flag, it is very likely that no units in this building have a true private yard space.
Agents do not mention any golf-related amenities. Given the small size of the complex and the complete absence of MLS indications, the building does not have a putting green.
While agents mention Ala Moana Beach Park and Waikiki, they do not describe any on-site recreation deck or amenity area. The MLS data likewise never flags a recreation area, indicating it is not present.
Listings focus on the units and nearby city amenities, with no mention of any shared rec or game room. The consistent omission of this amenity in MLS supports that a recreation room is not provided.
Remarks highlight that the building is close to many restaurants, clearly treating dining as an off-site neighborhood benefit. With no MLS indication of an on-site restaurant, the building does not offer its own restaurant or café.
Remarks never mention a rooftop deck or rooftop amenities, which would typically be highlighted if present. Combined with all MLS records omitting this amenity, it is very likely there is no shared rooftop feature.
Agents do not promote any sauna or steam facilities. The consistent omission in both remarks and MLS indicates the building does not have a sauna.
No listings (0/6) select any storage-related amenities, and none of the remarks reference storage units, storage lockers, or extra/added storage space. Given multiple listings with detailed amenity descriptions and no mention of storage, the evidence points to the building not providing dedicated storage units.
Listings reference surfing as an activity (e.g., 'grab your surf board, catch a wave') but do not mention any dedicated surfboard or board storage facilities. I searched for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', and 'surf storage' and found no evidence such a feature exists, so it is likely not provided in the building.
There are no references to tennis courts or similar sports facilities in any of the remarks. Given the small scale of the complex and the absence of MLS tennis court checkmarks, it is almost certain there is no tennis court.
Trash service details are not discussed in remarks, which is common, but MLS specifically does not indicate trash chutes for any unit. For a low-rise walk-up, this strongly suggests the building does not have a trash chute system.
Parking is described only as reserved or rented stalls, with no suggestion of staffed or valet operations. Given the building’s scale, configuration, and lack of any valet mention in remarks or MLS amenities, it is almost certain there is no valet service.
Across six listings, agents emphasize location and walk-up character but never describe the property as gated or fenced. With 5/6 MLS records not marking GATED/WALFEN and no textual support, a true gated/walled perimeter for the building is unlikely.
No spa-type amenities are described in the remarks. Given that such features are usually highlighted, and MLS does not list them, the building almost certainly lacks a whirlpool or hot tub.
No listing remarks mention a pool or swimming facility, and 0 of 6 MLS records check any pool-related amenity fields. Multiple agents instead emphasize being close to Ala Moana Beach Park and Waikiki for water recreation, which strongly suggests the building itself does not offer a pool.
Because there is no indication that the building has a pool at all, it cannot have a heated pool. No listings mention a heated pool, and the relevant MLS heated-pool fields are unchecked in all available records.
All provided remarks were scanned for any reference to a pool, especially a salt water or saline pool, and none were found. Combined with existing building data showing no pool, this strongly suggests there is no salt water pool at this property.
Across all provided remarks, there are no references to in-unit laundry (no mentions of 'washer/dryer in unit', 'in-unit laundry', or similar). MLS checkbox data also shows 0/6 listings including washer/dryer, so there is no evidence that any units currently advertise in-unit laundry.
MLS amenities data indicates community laundry in 4 of 6 recent listings, suggesting a commonly recognized shared facility. Although remarks do not explicitly describe the laundry room, the repeated COMLAU checkbox usage across multiple agents strongly supports that the building offers community laundry.
The remarks were checked for indications of paid community laundry such as 'coin-op', 'coin laundry', 'card operated', 'laundry fee', or similar language, and none were found. Because such details are usually highlighted when present, the feature is set to false with medium confidence pending any explicit future evidence to the contrary.
The remarks were reviewed for terms like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', or 'floor-by-floor laundry' and none were present. Since this type of feature is typically advertised if available and there is no reference to it, it is assumed not to exist, but with only medium confidence. If future listings explicitly mention laundry on every floor, this should be updated.
3 of 6 listings explicitly mention parking access, including 'one reserved parking condo', 'Parking stall rented through Mgt. $200/month', and 'Parking stall available for rent at a monthly rate.' Although some MLS entries show NONE, these remarks and 2/6 MLS parking checkboxes confirm that the building offers parking stalls, even if not all units include one by default.
At least one unit is marketed as a 'one reserved parking condo,' and other listings describe stalls rented directly through management, implying designated spaces. Even though not every unit comes with a stall, the presence of reserved/assigned parking for some units means the building offers assigned parking as an option.
Across all 6 listings, none reference a garage, carport, or covered stalls—only generic 'parking stall' wording is used. With all MLS parking feature codes for covered/garage parking absent, it is very likely the building does not offer covered parking.
Multiple listings describe parking as being rented through management or available for rent, with no mentions of deeded or owned stalls. This strongly suggests that parking is not deeded in this building.
None of the listings mention EV charging, Tesla chargers, or similar amenities, which are typically highlighted when present. Combined with the complete absence of the EVCHRG MLS code, this strongly indicates the building does not provide EV charging stations.
There is clear evidence that at least one parking stall in the building rents for $200 per month through management. No other specific fee amounts are mentioned, so $200/month is used as the building’s parking fee reference.
While several listings describe reserved or rented stalls for occupants, none mention any form of guest or visitor parking. The lack of both remark mentions and GUEST checkboxes in MLS data makes it likely that the building does not have dedicated guest parking.
Across all 6 listings, there are no references to gated or card-access parking facilities, only to stalls for rent or reserved use. The absence of the SECENT MLS feature supports the conclusion that parking does not have a secured entry system.
In a market where tandem configurations are typically disclosed, none of the 6 listings mention tandem stalls. With no TANDEM feature checked in MLS, it is very likely that the building does not offer tandem parking spaces.
The building is portrayed as a small walk-up at the 'gateway of Waikiki' with straightforward stall rental and no service elements. The complete lack of any mention of valet or attended parking in remarks or MLS confirms that valet parking is not offered.
Listings discuss renting stalls through management and reference monthly rates but never mention a waitlist or waiting list process. In the absence of any reference to a waitlist, it is assumed there is no formal parking waitlist system.
One listing specifically calls the complex a "three story walk up," indicating no elevator. With 0/6 listings checking ELEVAT and no mention of any elevator security, the building definitively does not have a keyed or fob-access elevator.
The public remarks describe location, views, parking, and unit upgrades, but do not reference any card or fob-based access system. I searched for terms like key card, fob, electronic access, and card reader and found no indications of such a system, so this feature is assumed not present based on current information.
Across six listings for this 3-story walk-up, no remarks reference a security guard or 24/7 security, and the SECGUA amenity is unchecked in all MLS entries. Given the small, low-rise character of the building and consistent omission in both checkboxes and text, a staffed security guard service is very unlikely.
The remarks focus on proximity to amenities, unit condition, and rental details, with no indication of any on-site or roving security patrol service. I looked for references to patrols or security services and found none, so this feature is treated as not present given the available remarks.
None of the six agents mention cameras or video security in their write-ups, and SECSYS is 0/6 in the MLS amenities. For a small walk-up like this, such a system would typically be marketed if it existed, so the building likely does not have a formal video surveillance system.
None of the 6 listings for this 3-story Marina Gardens building indicate central AC in the MLS checkboxes, and no remarks use terms like 'central air', 'forced air', or 'HVAC'. Multiple listings instead emphasize natural breezes and general comfort, which is typical of non–central-AC Waikiki walk-ups. Based on the consistent absence of central AC indicators, this building is treated as not having central air conditioning.
All 6 current listings show the split AC checkbox unset, and the public remarks never reference split systems, ductless AC, or mini-splits as a selling point. Given that agents typically call out split AC where present, especially in Hawaii, this consistent omission strongly suggests the building’s units do not have split AC systems. Therefore split_ac is set to false for this building.
Window AC appears in the MLS inclusions for 4 out of 6 listings, suggesting multiple units in this building are equipped with window air conditioners. The remarks do not contradict this (they simply emphasize breezes and location), and there is no indication of central or split AC instead. Because several independent listings consistently mark window AC, buyers can reasonably expect that some units in this building offer window AC.
4 of 6 recent listings mark the structure as concrete (CONCRE) and none indicate an alternate primary structure type. The remarks describe a three-story walk-up consistent with reinforced concrete construction in this area, with no conflicting construction descriptions.
Just 1 of 6 listings marks double-wall, while the majority omit it and instead mark concrete. With no textual support and the building’s concrete walk-up profile, double-wall construction is unlikely to be a defining building material.
0 of 6 listings select hollow tile, while several identify concrete construction instead. Without any remark support, hollow tile construction appears not to apply here.
2 of 6 listings explicitly mark masonry/stucco construction, and none contradict it. Although not universally checked, this pattern plus the typical Waikiki walk-up style supports including masonry/stucco with moderate confidence.
0 of 6 listings mark steel frame, and the property is a three-story walk-up rather than a steel high-rise. With no textual support for steel construction, steel frame can be confidently excluded.
2 of 6 listings mark a slab foundation, and the concrete low-rise walk-up style is consistent with slab-on-grade construction. While not universally checked, the MLS pattern and building type support including slab with moderate confidence.
No analysis available
0 of 6 listings indicate wood frame, while a majority indicate concrete construction instead. Given the building type and era, primary wood-frame construction is highly unlikely and is effectively ruled out by MLS data.
0 of 6 listings indicate above-ground construction, and multiple listings specify a slab foundation instead. This supports treating above-ground construction as not applicable here.
0 of 6 listings indicate brick, and remarks never mention any brick or brick-and-mortar exterior. Given local construction patterns and MLS data, brick construction is very unlikely.
0 of 6 listings indicate single-wall, and the building form (three-story walk-up condo) does not match traditional single-wall construction. This strongly supports that single-wall construction is not present.
The listing explicitly mentions a thirty-night minimum stay for Airbnb rentals, which indicates rentals shorter than 30 days are not allowed. No remarks mention STR being permitted, NUC/TVU, or legal vacation rental status. Based on the 30-day minimum rule, short-term rentals are considered not allowed in this building.
None of the remarks refer to a hotel rental pool, hotel management, or participation in any hotel program. Since STR is not allowed in the building, a hotel rental pool is ruled out by definition. Therefore, hotel pool participation is set to false.
There are no indications of any rental pool program, mandatory or otherwise, in the remarks. With no STR allowed and no hotel pool, mandatory participation cannot apply. Thus this feature is marked false.
No listing remarks or tenure fields explicitly indicate any Fee Simple interest in this building. Because tenure is unspecified rather than clearly excluded, Fee Simple presence remains uncertain and is treated as not confirmed.
None of the listings or remarks indicate that units are leasehold or provide lease details. With tenure fields and remarks both silent, the existence of leasehold units is unconfirmed and thus not included as a building feature.
Searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'leasehold', 'land lease to', or 'ground lease ends' along with a year, but found none. Without any lease-related information, the lease expiry year cannot be determined.
No references to VA loan approval, VA financing, or VA loans being accepted were found in any of the remarks. The only financing mentioned is seller financing, so VA approval is assumed not present based on available text.
Listing remarks were checked for references to comprehensive building insurance, full coverage, or walls-in HOA insurance, and none were present. In the absence of explicit statements, full building insurance coverage cannot be confirmed.
No listing remarks reference fire sprinklers or a sprinkler system, and the amenity is unchecked in all current MLS records. Due to the complete lack of evidence, fire sprinklers are treated as not confirmed for this building.
The remarks were reviewed for terms like fire life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire inspection, or life safety compliance, but none were mentioned. Without explicit confirmation, the building cannot be marked as having passed a fire/life safety evaluation.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.
No analysis available
Six recent listings omit any reference to ocean views in both checkboxes and remarks, instead stressing Ala Wai canal and mountain outlooks. If any unit had meaningful ocean vistas, at least some agents would market that, so it is very likely there are no ocean-view units.
Remarks for one unit state it has "mountain and Ala Wai views," showing the building offers a mauka-facing exposure. Even if agents sometimes omit the checkbox, this direct wording demonstrates that mountain views are available in the building.
None of the listings claim Diamond Head views, and the only Diamond Head reference frames it as a far-off landmark with intervening buildings. This consistent omission across agents indicates the building does not provide Diamond Head views.
The view data for one listing includes CITY, and multiple remarks emphasize the in-town, walkable setting near Ala Moana, Waikiki, and bus routes. Given the low-rise urban location, it is reasonable that some units enjoy cityscape views even if not heavily promoted.
Listings highlight that the beach is nearby but never that it is visible, and they consistently describe Ala Wai views instead. This pattern suggests the building does not have direct coastline or shoreline views.
Even though the complex is called Marina Gardens, no listing actually advertises garden or courtyard views. The exclusive emphasis on canal, mountain, and urban aspects indicates garden views are not a distinct feature of any units.
Across all sampled listings, agents never market golf course or fairway views, focusing instead on Ala Wai, mountains, and city convenience. Given the building’s location and complete lack of mention, it is very likely there are no golf course views.
Several listings explicitly describe "Ala Wai views," and most recent MLS records check the marina/canal view option. This repeated pattern from different agents shows the building offers Ala Wai canal/marina views in some units.
Agents do not promote sunrise or morning-sun views in any listing, which they typically highlight if present and attractive. The consistent absence of such language suggests the building does not offer notable sunrise views.
Marketing materials focus on Ala Wai, mountains, and location convenience rather than sunsets or fireworks. This uniform omission strongly indicates that sunset views are not a recognized feature of the building.
Neither checkboxes nor remarks ever mention a cemetery outlook, and local geography places no cemeteries in the visual range of this low-rise. It is safe to conclude the building does not offer cemetery views.
Searched for any mention of viewing fireworks from the unit, lanai, or building (e.g., Friday night fireworks) and found none. View descriptions are limited to Ala Wai and mountain views, so a fireworks view is unlikely based on the remarks.
No analysis available
None of the listings mention pet bans or 'no pets' rules, and no listing has the MLS NOPET restriction selected. While the remarks do not actively market the building as pet-friendly, the lack of any no-pet indication across multiple listings suggests pets are allowed, likely with some restrictions.
Across all remarks there is no mention of a resident or on-site manager, and the MLS amenity box is consistently unchecked. In the absence of any supporting evidence, a resident manager is not considered a feature of this building.
Although one unit is used for 30-night minimum Airbnb rentals, the remarks never describe hotel-style operations, a hotel program, or a managed rental pool. Combined with explicit 'condo conversion' language and no MLS condotel flags, this strongly indicates the building is a standard condominium, not a condotel.
Listings consistently use condominium terminology and never mention shares, cooperative ownership, or co-op related tax structures. The explicit reference to 'condo conversion' and absence of COOTAX in MLS data provide strong evidence that this is not a co-op building.
Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
