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 looked for building-level owner occupancy statements such as “80% owner occupied,” “majority owner occupied,” or similar wording. The remarks only mention one individual unit being owner-occupied, which is not enough to infer a building-wide percentage, so this remains unknown.
The public remarks directly confirm that the building has two elevator banks. This matches the current value of 2, so the estimate is high confidence.
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.
Central A/C is referenced in multiple listings, including phrases like 'central air conditioning,' 'central AC in unit,' and 'Use the central A/C for warmer days.' While some mentions are unit-level, the repeated appearance across listings plus 11 of 20 MLS inclusions supports including the feature.
Cable inclusion appears to be a consistent building-level feature. The current remarks explicitly mention maintenance fees including cable TV/basic cable, and the MLS data shows CABTV in 15 of 20 listings, which suggests this is not just a one-off agent entry.
Moderately strong evidence: OTCOEX appears in 15 of 20 current listings and prior data showed consistent inclusion. While public remarks do not often use the exact phrase 'common area electricity', the strong and consistent MLS checkbox usage plus multiple agents describing building-managed amenities supports that common area electric is included in the maintenance fee.

Hot water appears to be included based on the strong historical MLS pattern: 15 of 20 listings include HOTWAT and none show WTRHTR. The current remarks do not directly mention hot water, but there is also no contradictory evidence suggesting units rely on individual water heaters.
Direct evidence: several agent remarks explicitly state internet is included in the maintenance fee (e.g., 'maintenance fee offers exceptional value by including cable with premium channels and internet' and 'Maintenance Fee includes basic cable and internet fee of $53.15'). Despite fewer MLS checkboxes, explicit remarks across listings justify marking internet as included.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is extremely well supported. Nearly all current MLS listings (19 of 20) include SEWER, and multiple remarks describe completed or ongoing building-wide plumbing, repiping, and waste-line work, which is consistent with a shared building utility feature.
Water inclusion has very strong support. The MLS data shows WATER in 19 of 20 listings, and the remarks repeatedly refer to repiping, plumbing replacement, and retrofits throughout the building, which strongly indicates water is included in maintenance fees.
Strong building-level evidence for BBQ amenities. Multiple listings reference "BBQ area," "BBQ facilities," "new grills," "multiple BBQ areas," and "BBQ/picnic areas," suggesting this is a consistent shared amenity rather than a one-off agent error.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Car wash facilities are strongly supported. Listings mention "car wash," "car wash facilities," "car wash station on each parking level," and "car wash stations," making this a clear building amenity.
Clubhouse/party-room space appears to be a real shared amenity. Several remarks describe a "clubhouse," "party room with full kitchen & bathrooms," and "party room," which is enough to treat this as building-level.

There is moderate-to-strong evidence for a meeting/party room. At least one listing explicitly says "large recreation/meeting room," while others refer to a "party room" or clubhouse space, supporting this feature at the building level.
Strong building-level evidence supports patio/deck amenities. Across the remarks, a large majority mention outdoor living spaces such as 'covered lanai,' 'large lanai,' 'spacious balcony,' and 'recreation deck,' with several noting a 'new recreation deck' or 'amenity deck' renovation. This aligns with the current MLS checkboxes (19/20 listings) and appears consistent across many agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.

Putting green is present, though not in every listing. Multiple remarks explicitly say "putting green," and one notes it among recently upgraded amenities, which is enough to include it as a shared feature available to buyers.
The building clearly has a shared recreation area/deck. Listings mention "recreation deck," "recreation areas," "amenity deck," and "outdoor spaces," indicating this amenity is repeatedly present and not just copy-paste noise.
Several independent listings mention indoor common rooms, including 'recreation room', 'recreation rooms', 'meeting room', 'party room with full kitchen', 'club house', and a named pavilion. These repeated descriptions across different agents show the building has at least one shared recreation/party/meeting room even if not always checked in the MLS.

No analysis available
Sauna appears to be a genuine building amenity even though it had no prior confidence note. Multiple listings explicitly mention "sauna," including one describing upgraded amenities and another listing it alongside pool and whirlpool, so this should be included.
No analysis available
One listing directly confirms dedicated surfboard storage. This is clear evidence of the amenity and is sufficient to mark it present.
Tennis court access is very well supported across the listings. Remarks repeatedly cite "tennis court," "tennis/pickleball courts," "full size tennis courts," and "resurfaced tennis court," confirming a shared building amenity.
Trash chute is supported by very strong historical MLS consistency. The remarks do not often mention it directly, but the 20/20 MLS historical record is enough to keep this as a building feature.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Whirlpool/hot tub/spa is very well supported. Remarks repeatedly use terms like "whirlpool," "jacuzzi," "hot tub," and "spa," indicating the building offers this shared amenity.
The pool amenity is strongly confirmed: essentially every remark set references it, and the MLS history shows 20/20 listings with pool-related amenities. Current remarks mention multiple pool types and upgrades, including "refreshed swimming pool," "large saltwater pool," "infinity-edge pool," and "kiddie pool," indicating a shared building amenity that buyers can expect.
No analysis available
The public remarks repeatedly and explicitly identify the pool as salt water/saltwater. This is strong confirmation that the building’s pool is a saltwater pool.
Strong building-wide evidence supports in-unit laundry. Across the provided remarks, well over a dozen listings explicitly mention washer/dryer in unit, stacked laundry, or full-sized washer/dryer, and this aligns with the MLS summary showing 19/20 recent listings with WASHER/DRYER in inclusions. The consistency across many different listings and agents indicates this is not just copy-paste noise.
No analysis available
I looked for any public-remarks references to paid community laundry such as coin laundry, card-operated machines, or quarters. None were found, and the remarks instead focus on in-unit laundry in several listings.
I searched the public remarks for phrases like 'laundry on every floor,' 'laundry room on each floor,' and similar wording, but found nothing. The listings mention in-unit washer/dryers and a laundry closet in one unit, which does not support community laundry on every floor.
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence across listings: 18 of 20 current MLS records include ASSIGN and many remarks state phrases like 'assigned covered parking', 'one Deeded Parking Stall' and 'two assigned covered parking stalls, stall #160'. Evidence appears across multiple agents and unit ads, not likely copy-paste errors.
Covered parking is strongly corroborated across the remarks, with many listings explicitly saying 'covered parking stall,' 'covered assigned parking,' '2 covered side-by-side parking stalls,' or 'secured covered parking garage.' The evidence appears consistent across many agents rather than a one-off copy/paste, and it aligns with the very high MLS checkbox rate (19 of 20 listings).
The remarks clearly indicate deeded parking, including one listing that states a "Deeded Parking Stall." Other listings reinforce that parking is assigned and covered, supporting this conclusion.
No analysis available
I looked for monthly parking fees, rental charges, or any additional parking cost language. The remarks describe covered, assigned, tandem, and guest parking, but do not mention any separate parking fee.
Guest parking is clearly available in the building, supported by numerous remarks from multiple listings describing 'ample guest parking,' 'lots of guest parking,' '20 plus guest parking stalls,' '27 ample guest parking,' and similar language. This is not limited to one agent or one unit, and it matches the high rate of MLS entries marking guest parking (15 of 20).
Good evidence that parking has secured entry: 14 of 20 MLS listings include SECENT and several remarks explicitly describe gated or FOB-controlled access ('each floor has it's own secured entry gate', 'controlled FOB-access', 'secured parking'), indicating the feature is present building-wide and reported by multiple agents.

No analysis available
I searched for references to a parking waitlist, parking waiting list, or joining a queue for parking. The listings discuss ample guest parking and assigned stalls, but nothing suggests a waitlist system.
No analysis available
I looked for card/fob/keycard access language and found clear confirmation of FOB-controlled access and secured entry gates. That supports a building-level electronic access security system.
Strong, consistent evidence that Mott-Smith Laniloa has building security. Across many current listings, the feature is explicitly mentioned in phrases such as "24-hour security," "24/7 security," "security personnel," "secured building," and "video surveillance," which aligns with the previously high-confidence MLS amenity data. The repetition across multiple remarks suggests this is a real, persistent building feature rather than a copy-paste error.
The remarks mention 24-hour security, security personnel/guards, cameras, and a resident manager, but not patrol service specifically. Because patrol is not explicitly stated, I cannot confirm this feature from the remarks.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence the building has central air: MLS checkbox history shows 17/20 units flagged (ACCEN/CENAC) and 19/20 with ACCEN in inclusions. Multiple listing remarks explicitly state phrases like "central air conditioning", "central AC", and "central A/C" (appearing in many agent descriptions), and the consistency across different listings/agents suggests this is a building-wide feature rather than isolated copy-paste error.
No analysis available
No analysis available
Concrete construction is strongly supported: 20 of 20 current listings list CONCRE, and historical records already identified the building as concrete. No current remarks suggest otherwise, so this appears to be a stable building-level attribute rather than copy-paste noise.
Double-wall construction is not supported by the remarks, and only 4 of 20 current listings check DOUWAL in MLS. The sparse checkbox usage looks more like inconsistent agent input than a confirmed building feature, so the building should not be treated as reliably double-wall based on current evidence.
No analysis available
Moderate evidence for masonry & stucco: 7/20 current MLS entries include MASSTU and historical records previously flagged masonry & stucco finishes. Public remarks across all listings do not explicitly state 'masonry' or 'stucco', so the evidence comes mainly from MLS checkbox data (some potential for copy/paste), warranting moderate confidence.
No analysis available
Weak evidence for concrete slab foundation: 5/20 current MLS listings include SLAB and historical notes suggested a slab/podium foundation previously (Low confidence). Public remarks across listings do not mention 'concrete slab' or similar terms, so inclusion is based on limited MLS checkbox data and carries low confidence.

I searched for short-term rental indicators such as STR allowed, NUC, TVU, vacation rental language, hotel-rental terms, or minimum-stay exceptions. Nothing in the remarks confirms STR permission, so this is treated as not allowed based on the absence of supporting evidence.
I looked for hotel rental pool references such as Hilton pool, Ritz pool, hotel-managed units, or participation in a branded rental program. No such language appears, and without STR evidence this must be false.
I searched for wording like mandatory pool, required to participate, cannot opt out, or must rent through a program. There is no evidence of any mandatory rental pool, and with no STR/hotel-pool support this is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for leasehold language such as lease expires, ground lease ends, land lease to, renewed through, or an expiration year. No specific lease-expiry information appears in the remarks, so the year remains unknown.
Multiple remarks directly indicate VA financing is available for this building. I found both a building-level statement and a unit-level VA loan assumption reference, which strongly confirms VA approval.
I searched the public remarks for building insurance language such as full insurance, fully insured, walls-in coverage, or comprehensive building insurance. Nothing in the remarks confirms that the HOA provides full coverage, so this remains unverified and is treated as false from the available evidence.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit pass language such as “FLSE passed,” “fire life safety evaluation passed,” or “fire safety certified,” and did not find it. The remarks do mention fire/life safety system upgrades, which is related but not the same as a documented pass, so this remains false with moderate confidence.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Building-level ocean views are repeatedly advertised across listings. CURRENT MLS shows 3/20 view_descriptions with OCEAN, and numerous public remarks directly state “ocean,” “Pacific Ocean,” or “peek-a-boo ocean view,” indicating several units offer ocean-facing exposures. Evidence is strong across multiple agent remarks and consistent with prior high confidence.
Multiple listings/remarks consistently advertise mountain (mauka/Punchbowl) views: examples include "mountain views," "Punchbowl," and "mauka-to-makai views." These phrases appear repeatedly throughout the public remarks across many units, indicating several units in the building offer mountain views and confirming strong, building-level evidence.
Diamond Head is repeatedly cited across the public remarks—phrases include "Diamond Head views," "Diamond Head–facing," and "unobstructed views of Diamond Head." Many separate listings call out Diamond Head as a selling feature, demonstrating strong, building-level availability of Diamond Head view units.
Numerous remarks reference city or skyline views (e.g., "city lights," "Honolulu Skyline," "city skyline"), appearing in multiple listings and confirming that the building offers units with city views.

Several listings explicitly note eastern or sunrise exposure (phrases such as "sunrise side," "east side of Honolulu," and references to morning sun/lanai for morning coffee). While not as ubiquitous as mountain or Diamond Head mentions, these multiple references indicate that some units in the building offer sunrise/eastern views.
Sunset views are clearly present in this building. Multiple current listings mention them directly, including “highlighted by sunsets and frequent rainbows” and “enjoy spectacular sunsets,” while others reference west/cool-side or ocean-facing lanais that support sunset-oriented exposures. Evidence is strong across multiple agents and does not appear to be a single copy-paste claim.
No listings or public remarks reference cemetery views (0 mentions in the provided dataset and 0/20 current MLS entries flagged CEMETA). There is no evidence across agent remarks to suggest the building offers cemetery views.
The remarks directly confirm fireworks views from the building/unit, which is the exact condition needed here. This is not just proximity to fireworks; it specifically says residents can enjoy Friday night fireworks from the lanai.
No analysis available
Resident manager is strongly supported for this building. The public remarks mention it in many listings, often with exact phrases like 'resident manager,' 'resident mgr on site,' and 'resident manager on property,' which appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy/paste error. This aligns with the prior MLS history showing RESMAN in 19/20 listings, so confidence is very high.
