Building Features & Data Confidence

All features from MLS data with AI-assisted confidence analysis. Click each category to expand and see details.

Year Built
1960
High

Six out of six listings for Niihau Apts. report the building as built in 1960, with no contradictory remarks. This consistent MLS data supports 1960 as the construction year with high confidence.

Floors
9
Medium

Across 6 listings, the highest unit floor reported is 9 and no remarks indicate additional higher floors or a different total story count. Based on current MLS floor data, the building is treated as a 9-story structure.

Total Units
39
Low

No listings mention the total number of units in the Niihau Apts., and the MLS unit-total field appears to be a non-informative default (0). The true unit count for this building remains unknown from the available data.

Owner Occupancy
40%
Low

The remarks emphasize investment potential and resort/short-term rental zoning but do not quantify owner occupancy. With no direct evidence to update the figure, the previously recorded 40% owner-occupancy is kept. This should be treated as approximate given the absence of confirmation in current remarks.

Elevators
1
Medium

The listing confirms that the building has elevator access but does not state how many elevators there are. Given the prior data of 1 elevator and no contradictory evidence, we retain 1 elevator as the building count. Building size and configuration make a single elevator reasonable.

Association Fee Low
$395
High

Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee High
$581
High

Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee (Penthouse)
High

Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Fee Includes Central AC
No
High

0 of 6 listings indicate central AC is included in the HOA, and no remarks mention AC as an included utility. Evidence strongly points to central AC not being part of the fee structure.

Fee Includes Cable
No
High

Cable TV inclusion is marked in only 2 of 6 MLS records, with the majority omitting it. No listing remarks mention cable being included in the HOA, so this is likely not a building-included utility.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
Medium

Most listings (4 of 6) indicate 'other common expenses' are included in the fees, implying common-area electricity is paid through the HOA. No remarks contradict this, so it is reasonably supported across multiple agents.

Fee Includes Coop Taxes
No
High

No listings mark cooperative taxes as included, and the property is consistently described as a resort-zoned condo, not a co-op. Coop taxes are therefore not applicable or included here.

Fee Includes Electricity
No
High

0 of 6 listings show electricity included in the association fee, and no remarks refer to power being covered. Combined with comments about low HOA fees, electricity appears not to be included.

Fee Includes Gas
No
High

No listings indicate gas is included in the HOA, and gas service is never mentioned in the remarks. The building fees almost certainly do not cover gas.

Fee Includes Hot Water
No
High

0 of 6 listings show hot water included, while 2 of 6 explicitly note water heaters in the unit. This supports that hot water is individually provided and not part of the HOA fee.

Fee Includes Internet
No
High

Internet is not checked as included in any of the 6 listings, and no remarks advertise internet-included HOA. The evidence points to internet not being part of the maintenance fee.

Fee Includes Marina
No
High

No listing data or remarks suggest any marina access or boat-related amenities are included. Association fees clearly do not include marina costs.

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

A majority of listings (4 of 6) show sewer included in the HOA fees, with no remarks suggesting otherwise. This is well-supported across multiple agents.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

Most listings (4 of 6) show water included in the association fees. With no conflicting remarks, it's strongly supported that water is an HOA-included utility.

Bbq
No
High

None of the listings describe BBQ or grill facilities or an outdoor cooking area. With 0/6 MLS indications and no textual evidence, the building is very unlikely to have shared BBQ amenities.

Bike Storage
No
High

0 of 6 MLS listings indicate bike storage, and the remarks never mention any bicycle storage or bike room. Given this repeated omission while other amenities are described, it is highly likely that the building does not offer bike storage.

Boat Dock
No
High

Remarks highlight proximity to the beach and nearby hotels, not boating or marina access. With no MLS or remarks support, it is very likely that the property does not have a boat dock or marina access.

Car Wash
No
High

Parking is discussed (including Hale Koa Hotel parking and covered parking) but a car wash station is never mentioned. The universal MLS omission suggests there is no dedicated car wash amenity.

Club House
No
High

None of the listings for Niihau Apts mention a clubhouse, community center, or similar facility. Given universal omission in MLS data, the building can be considered to have no clubhouse.

Concierge
No
High

No listing references any concierge or front desk services. Given that 0/6 MLS listings mark a concierge amenity, it is highly likely the building does not offer concierge service.

Dog Park
No
High

Listings do not mention a dog park, dog run, or pet exercise area, which are typically called out if present. The consistent MLS omission strongly suggests there is no dedicated dog park.

Doorman
No
High

Listing descriptions focus on location, renovations, parking, and elevator access, but never mention a doorman or lobby attendant. With 0/6 MLS indications of a doorman, the building very likely does not have this service.

Exercise Room
No
High

No listings or remarks reference a gym, fitness center, or exercise room for this building. With 0/6 MLS amenities indicating an exercise room and no textual mention across multiple agents, it is very likely the building does not offer this feature.

Limo Service
No
High

The building is presented as a modest resort-zoned Waikiki condo, not a full-service luxury tower. With no textual or MLS evidence, it is safe to conclude there is no limousine or house car service.

Meeting Room
No
High

There are no references to conference rooms, board rooms, or community meeting rooms. With consistent MLS omission and no textual support, this feature is almost certainly absent.

Patio Deck
Yes
High

At least one listing advertises a 'private lanai,' which is a clear patio/deck-type outdoor space. Despite the MLS amenities checkbox not being used, this remark-based evidence strongly supports that units in the building offer lanai/deck areas.

Path Jogging
No
High

While the ads emphasize walkability to the beach and Waikiki, they do not mention any dedicated jogging or walking path on the property. With no MLS or textual support, this amenity is very unlikely.

Playground
No
High

The building is marketed for resort/short-term use and proximity to the beach, not family play facilities. With 0/6 MLS checks and no verbal mention, a playground is almost certainly not offered.

Private Yard
No
Medium

Across all provided remarks, there are no references to a yard, fenced yard, or private ground-level outdoor space. The property is positioned as an urban resort-zoned condo, making private yard areas very unlikely.

Putting Green
No
High

No listing references a putting green or golf practice area, and all amenities lists leave this unchecked. Given how marketable this would be, its omission indicates it does not exist at the building.

Recreation Area
No
High

Agents emphasize proximity to the beach and neighborhood attractions rather than any on-site recreation deck. With 0/6 MLS flags and no mention in remarks, a shared recreation area is unlikely.

Recreation Room
No
High

Listings focus on unit renovations and location but never mention a game room, rec room, or entertainment room. With zero MLS or textual support, the building likely lacks a recreation room.

Restaurant
No
High

Agents market nearby dining rather than an in-building restaurant or café. With 0/6 MLS indications and only neighborhood-level restaurant references, the building itself does not have a restaurant.

Rooftop
No
High

Agents highlight a private lanai and views of fireworks but do not describe any shared rooftop area. With 0/6 MLS indications and no remarks support, a shared rooftop amenity is very unlikely.

Sauna
No
High

None of the agents describe a sauna, steam room, or similar wellness facility. Given 0/6 MLS flags and no textual evidence, the building almost certainly lacks a sauna.

Storage Unit
No
High

0 of 6 MLS listings check any storage-related amenity, and none of the remarks reference storage lockers or extra storage. Agents instead highlight features such as covered parking and keyed elevator access, suggesting storage units are not available in this building.

Surfboard Storage
Yes
Low

The public remarks describe location, parking, elevator access, zoning, and interior features but do not mention any surfboard or board storage amenities. I specifically looked for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', or 'bike and surfboard storage' and found none, so this feature is assumed not present based on available information.

Tennis Court
No
High

No agent notes a tennis court or tennis facilities, and all MLS amenity checkboxes for tennis are off. Such a feature would almost certainly be advertised, so it can be treated as not present.

Trash Chute
Yes
Medium

About half of the listings indicate a trash/garbage chute in the MLS amenity data, and none contradict this in remarks. Although not explicitly described in text, the repeated MLS selection across multiple agents implies that a trash chute system is present in the building.

Valet
No
High

Multiple listings discuss parking but never reference any valet service or valet parking. Given that valet is a major amenity agents typically promote, its absence in all remarks strongly indicates the building does not offer valet.

Wall Fence
No
High

Remarks emphasize proximity to the beach and nearby landmarks but do not describe a gated or fenced perimeter. Coupled with the absence of gated/wall-fence checkboxes in all MLS entries, this strongly suggests the property is not enclosed by a wall or fence.

Whirlpool
No
High

A whirlpool or hot tub would be a key resort-style selling point but is never referenced. The consistent MLS and remark silence makes it very likely that the building has no shared whirlpool or hot tub.

Pool
No
High

Across 6 current listings, no agent has checked any pool-related amenity and none of the remarks mention a pool, lap pool, or swimming facilities. Marketing focuses on being 400 feet from the beach and on short-term rental potential, which strongly suggests the building does not offer a pool. Given the consistent absence of any references, it's highly likely there is no shared pool in this building.

Pool Heated
No
High

No listings mark heated pool amenities or mention a heated pool in their descriptions. Combined with strong evidence that the building has no pool at all, this supports a very high-confidence conclusion that there is no heated pool available in the building.

Pool Salt
No
Medium

There is no indication in the remarks that the building has a pool, and the existing building data lists no pool, so a saltwater pool is very unlikely. I searched for terms like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', and 'saline pool' and found no matches. Based on the absence of any pool, this feature is marked as not present.

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

Remarks for one listing clearly note 'W/D in unit too!', confirming that at least one unit has its own washer and dryer. Combined with 2 of 6 MLS listings checking washer/dryer in inclusions, this supports that the building offers some units with in-unit laundry, which is relevant for buyers searching for this feature.

Community Laundry
Yes
Medium

Half of the current MLS listings (3 of 6) mark community laundry as an amenity, suggesting the building provides shared laundry facilities even though the remarks do not spell this out. Given this repeated MLS checkbox data and no contrary statements, it's likely the building has community laundry available to residents.

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

The remarks do not reference any paid or coin/card-operated laundry, only an in-unit washer/dryer. I looked for terms such as 'coin-op', 'coin laundry', 'card-operated', or 'paid laundry' and found no evidence, so it's likely there is no paid community laundry setup.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

The remarks reference a washer/dryer in the unit but do not mention any shared or community laundry rooms on each floor. I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', or similar and found none, so it's likely there is no community laundry on every floor.

Parking
Yes
High

At least two listings confirm on-site parking for some units (e.g., 'has one parking space', 'Covered parking'). Another listing advises renting parking from the nearby Hale Koa Hotel, showing that not all units include parking but the building does offer stalls for some owners.

Parking Assigned
Yes
Medium

A listing notes the unit 'has one parking space,' and 2/6 MLS entries mark assigned parking, implying stalls are specifically tied to certain units. This supports that the building offers assigned parking for some units rather than only unassigned or first-come parking.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

A remark clearly states 'Covered parking and keyed elevator access, too!', confirming covered stalls in the building. This, along with covered/garage codes on some MLS entries, shows the building offers covered parking for at least certain units.

Parking Deeded
No
Low

There is evidence that at least some units include a parking space and that the building has covered parking, but nothing indicates that stalls are deeded or owned with the unit. Searched for phrases like 'deeded parking', 'owned stall', or 'parking included in deed' and found none, so deeded status remains unknown.

Parking E V
No
High

Across all available remarks there is no reference to EV or electric vehicle charging, and MLS parking features never include EVCHRG. This consistent absence makes it very likely the building does not offer EV charging stations.

Parking Fee
Low

The only fee-related parking mention is a nearby hotel's lot with its own monthly rates, not a defined fee structure for this building’s parking. Searched for a specific monthly parking fee or charge tied to the building and found none, so no building parking fee can be determined.

Parking Guest
No
High

None of the listings advertise guest or visitor parking, and MLS data never flags a guest parking feature. Given how marketable guest parking is, this silence strongly suggests that dedicated guest parking is not available.

Parking Secured Entry
No
High

Remarks note 'keyed elevator access' but say nothing about gated or secure parking, and MLS parking features never list secured entry. This points to building access being controlled, but not the parking area itself, so secured parking entry is unlikely.

Parking Tandem
No
High

There are no mentions of 'tandem' or similar wording in the remarks, and MLS data never flags tandem parking. This consistent lack of reference indicates the building does not offer tandem-style parking stalls.

Parking Valet
No
High

No listings mention valet parking or attended garage service, and MLS never marks a valet option. Given how prominently such an amenity would normally be advertised, the building almost certainly does not offer valet parking.

Parking Waitlist
No
Low

Listings describe available parking but do not reference any formal waitlist system. In the absence of terms like 'parking waitlist' or 'waiting list for parking,' it is assumed there is no structured parking waitlist.

Security Keyed Elevator
Yes
High

At least one listing clearly advertises "keyed elevator access," indicating controlled elevator entry for the building. Even though MLS checkboxes do not flag an elevator amenity, the explicit remark provides strong evidence that secure keyed elevator access exists.

Security Card
No
Low

Searched for terms like key card, fob access, electronic access, and card reader in the remarks. The only related phrase was 'keyed elevator access,' which does not clearly indicate a card or fob system, so card access is not confirmed.

Security Guard
No
High

Across all available remarks, there is no reference to a security guard or staffed security service. Combined with 0/6 MLS listings marking a guard amenity, this strongly indicates the building does not offer guard service.

Security Patrol
No
Low

Looked for references to security patrols, roving guards, or patrolled buildings in the listing text and found none. In the absence of any such mentions, a security patrol service is considered unlikely.

Security Video
No
High

No listing remarks mention any video surveillance or security camera system. Together with 0/6 MLS listings indicating a security system amenity, this suggests the building does not provide video security.

Central AC
No
High

No listings (0/6) mark central AC in the MLS data, and none of the public remarks reference central air, forced air, or HVAC. Given this consistent absence in both checkboxes and narrative remarks, it is very likely the building does not have a central air conditioning system.

Split AC
Yes
Low

Split AC is indicated in the MLS inclusions for 1 of 6 listings, with no explicit split/mini-split wording in any remarks. This single data point suggests some units may have split AC, but the evidence is limited and may reflect one agent’s entry rather than a building-wide standard.

Window AC
Yes
Medium

Window AC is checked in the MLS inclusions for 2 of 6 listings, while no listings indicate central AC and the remarks are silent on cooling type. This pattern implies that some units in the building use window air conditioning, consistent with typical configurations in similar buildings.

Concrete
Yes
High

Current MLS data consistently describes the building as concrete (6 of 6 listings with CONCRE). Public remarks focus on location and rental flexibility and do not mention any other construction type, supporting a concrete building structure.

Double Wall
Yes
Medium

A subset of agents (2 of 6 listings) tag the building with double wall construction, and none contradict this. Although not universal, repeated selection by multiple listings implies some double-wall elements are present in the building.

Hollow Tile
No
High

There is no MLS checkbox or remarks evidence indicating hollow tile construction. Given the consistent concrete designation and absence of hollow tile mentions, hollow tile construction is very unlikely.

Masonry/Stucco
No
High

None of the listings indicate masonry and stucco construction, and all instead emphasize concrete. The consistent absence of MASSTU and any masonry/stucco language supports that this is not a masonry-stucco building.

Steel Frame
No
High

There is no MLS or remarks evidence of steel frame construction, while concrete is consistently selected. This makes a steel frame structure highly unlikely for this building.

Slab
No
High

No MLS records identify slab construction, and the presence of the 'above ground' tag on some listings suggests the building is not represented as slab-on-grade. With zero MLS or remarks evidence for a slab foundation, slab construction is unlikely.

Stone
No

No analysis available

Wood Frame
No
High

No listings mark wood frame construction, and all instead mark concrete, which strongly indicates the building is not wood-frame. Remarks do not reference wood framing or similar terminology.

Above Ground
Yes
Medium

Multiple listings (2 of 6) describe the construction as above ground and none describe it as slab-based. This pattern indicates the building is treated as above-ground construction in MLS data.

Brick
No
High

No listing advertises brick or brick-and-mortar construction, and agents uniformly tag the building as concrete. The lack of any brick references across listings suggests the building is not brick-constructed.

Single Wall
No
High

Single-wall construction is never mentioned or checked in MLS data for this building. Given local practice of calling out single-wall when applicable, the lack of any reference strongly indicates it does not use single-wall construction.

STR Allowed
Yes
High

Multiple listings clearly state that short-term rentals (less than 30 days) are allowed and that the building is resort-zoned / zoned for short-term rentals. This is strong, direct evidence that STRs are permitted in this building.

STR Hotel Pool
No
Low

The remarks emphasize short-term rental flexibility and investment use but never reference a hotel rental pool or any affiliation with a hotel management program. Given this absence in multiple investment-focused listings, it is likely there is no formal hotel rental pool.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
High

A mandatory hotel rental pool would be prominently disclosed, but no such language appears, and owners are clearly allowed to occupy or rent the unit independently. Combined with the lack of any hotel pool evidence, this strongly indicates there is no mandatory pool requirement.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
Yes
Low

None of the available remarks mention 'fee simple' or land ownership, and the MLS tenure data does not clearly indicate FS for any of the 6 listings. With no positive evidence of fee simple units, the building is not currently recorded as offering FS tenure.

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No
Low

No listing remarks reference leasehold terms or lease rent, and MLS data does not mark any of the 6 listings as LH. Because there is no direct evidence of leasehold tenure, the building is not currently recorded as offering LH units.

Lease Expiry Year
Low

The text does not indicate whether the property is fee simple or leasehold, and there are no dates related to a land or ground lease. Searched for words like 'leasehold', 'lease expires', 'ground lease', and any 4-digit years tied to a lease, but found nothing, so the expiry year is unknown.

Financing V A
No
Low

The remarks focus on location, renovations, zoning, and rental potential, but never reference VA loan eligibility or approval. Searched for phrases like 'VA approved', 'VA loans ok', and 'VA financing' and found none, so VA approval is assumed not marketed or not available.

Insured Fully
No
Low

The public remarks do not discuss HOA or building insurance coverage of any kind. Since full walls-in coverage is usually highlighted when available, the lack of mention suggests it is likely not provided, though this cannot be confirmed. The value is set to false with medium but not high confidence.

Fire Sprinklers
No
Low

Across all provided listings, there are no remarks or amenity checkboxes indicating a sprinkler system. Due to this lack of evidence, the presence of building fire sprinklers is not recorded at this time.

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

The remarks do not reference a fire life safety evaluation, fire inspections, or life safety compliance. Because MLS remarks typically highlight this when it is a selling point, its absence suggests this certification is likely not present, but this is not certain. The value is set to false due to lack of explicit evidence.

Flood Zone (Current)
AE
High

Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Flood Zone (June 2026)
AE

No analysis available

View: Ocean
No
High

0 of 6 MLS listings checked any ocean-related view, and none of the public remarks mention an ocean or water view even though they stress being 400 feet from the beach. In Waikiki, ocean views are heavily marketed when available, so the consistent omission strongly suggests there are no meaningful ocean-view units in this building.

View: Mountain
No
High

0 of 6 listings selected a mountain view, and no remarks reference mountain or mauka views. Given multiple agents’ descriptions, this consistent omission suggests the building does not offer recognized mountain-view units.

View: Diamond Head
No
High

No listings checked Diamond Head view and no remarks mention Diamond Head or crater views. Because agents almost always promote Diamond Head views when present, this pattern indicates there are no Diamond Head–view units here.

View: City
Yes
Medium

3 of 6 recent listings have CITY selected in their view_descriptions, with none marked as having no view. This indicates that some units in the building offer city/urban views, making city view a relevant building-level feature.

View: Coastline
No
High

0 of 6 listings checked any coastline-related view and the remarks only reference being 400 feet from the beach, not seeing it. This pattern suggests the building does not offer coastline-view units.

View: Garden
No
High

0 of 6 listings advertise garden or courtyard views, and no remarks mention landscaped outlooks. This consistent lack of mention suggests there are no notable garden-view units in the building.

View: Golf Course
No
High

No listings checked a golf course view and no remarks reference any fairway, greens, or Ala Wai Golf Course outlook. This strongly indicates the building has no golf course–view units.

View: Marina
No
High

0 of 6 listings selected marina/harbor/canal view, and remarks do not describe any harbor or Ala Wai vistas. The consistent absence across multiple agents’ listings indicates marina views are not a feature of this building.

View: Sunrise
No
High

None of the listings checked sunrise or similar exposure, and no remarks highlight sunrise or morning sunshine. With other view aspects (like fireworks) explicitly described instead, sunrise views do not appear to be a building feature.

View: Sunset
Yes
High

Remarks explicitly note that the lanai has views of the Hilton’s Friday night fireworks, which occur in the evening over the ocean to the west. This directly supports that some units enjoy sunset-facing views, so sunset is a valid building-level view feature.

View: Cemetery
No
High

No listings indicate a cemetery view and no public remarks reference a cemetery. Given that such a view would typically be noted or disclosed, this strongly supports that the building has no cemetery-view units.

Fireworks View
Yes
High

The listing explicitly notes that occupants can see Hilton’s Friday night fireworks from the private lanai. This directly confirms that at least some units in the building have a fireworks view.

Central Waikiki
Yes

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
No
Low

None of the listings reference pets or pet policies in any way. Because the building’s stance on pets is not documented in the remarks, this is treated as not confirmed/advertised rather than clearly pet-friendly.

Resident Manager
No
Low

No listing descriptions or MLS amenity notes indicate a resident or on-site manager at Niihau Apts. In the absence of such mentions across multiple listings, a resident manager is not currently recorded for this building.

Condotel
No
High

Remarks emphasize 'resort-zoned condo' and the ability to do short-term rentals but never describe any hotel management or front-desk services. This pattern across several listings indicates it is a standard resort-zoned condo, not a condotel.

Coop
No
High

The building is consistently marketed as a condominium with fee simple-style language and no mention of shares or co-op structure. Given how rare and distinctive co-ops are, this strongly confirms the building is not a cooperative.

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.
