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
11
High

The listings consistently match their unit-number floors, including a penthouse on floor 11. County and state records also report 11 floors; the stored value of 9 is not supported.

Total Units
44
High

The county reconciled unit count and the state registration both report 44 units for this single-building record. The county dwell sum and state residential_units values of 43 are set aside because the reconciled and registration totals agree.

Owner Occupancy
27%
Verified

Owner occupancy from AOUO registration(s) 187. Refreshed by Real_Estate_Scraper/reb_registry/propagate_owner_occupancy.py, which this lock does not block.

Elevators
1
Low

The remarks confirm elevator access but provide no elevator count. No evidence was found to confirm or deny the current value of 1 elevator, so it is retained with low confidence.

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)
$1,242
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
Yes
Medium

No public remarks explicitly mention cable being included. CABTV appears in 3 of 7 current listings, so support is moderate and may reflect inconsistent MLS entry rather than clearly documented building-wide policy.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
Medium

No public remarks specifically mention common-area electricity or building power. However, 5 of 7 listings include OTCOEX, providing moderate-to-strong indirect support that common expenses are included in the HOA fees.

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

None of the seven current listings indicate hot water is included, and three explicitly list water heaters. The absence of HOTWAT, presence of WTRHTR, and prior high-confidence conclusion strongly support that hot water is not included in the maintenance 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

No public remarks explicitly mention sewer being included. However, SEWER appears in the association_fee_includes field for 7 of 9 current listings, consistent with the previously high-confidence historical evidence and suggesting a building-level fee inclusion rather than a single-agent entry.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

No public remarks explicitly mention water inclusion or separate water billing. WATER appears in the association_fee_includes field for 7 of 9 current listings, consistent with the previously high-confidence historical evidence and supporting inclusion as a building-level fee feature.

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

No dedicated surfboard storage facility is identified. Searches for surfboard storage, board storage, surf storage, and bike-and-surfboard storage found no mentions.

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
No
High

Zero of 7 current remarks mention a trash chute or related term. The feature appears in 6 of 9 MLS amenity records, but this conflicts with the historically low confidence and lacks corroboration from multiple listing descriptions, suggesting checkbox carryover rather than a verified building feature.

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
Low

The listings do not describe a pool or any saltwater feature. Searches for salt water pool, saltwater pool, salt pool, and saline pool found no mentions; the building context also indicates no pool.

Laundry In Unit
Yes
High

At least three current remarks explicitly support in-unit laundry, including "W/D combo in unit too!" and "W/D in unit too!," while 4 of 9 listings include WASHER/DRYER in the MLS data. Two remarks appear duplicated or copy-pasted, but this confirms availability in at least some units and is consistent with the previously high-confidence finding.

Community Laundry
Yes
Medium

Six of 9 current listings identify COMLAU, indicating the building likely offers community laundry. None of the supplied remarks explicitly mentions a laundry room or shared laundry, so the evidence is less detailed and may partly reflect copied MLS checkbox data.

Community Laundry Paid
No
Low

No shared laundry payment terms were identified. Searches for coin laundry, laundry fees, quarters, card-operated laundry, and coin-op facilities found no relevant mentions.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

The listings describe in-unit laundry rather than floor-by-floor community laundry. No phrases such as laundry on each floor, laundry room on every floor, or floor-by-floor laundry were found.

Parking
Yes
High

At least three listings explicitly mention parking, including two references to “Covered parking” and one stating the unit “has one parking space.” The evidence is consistent across multiple remarks and supports parking as an available building feature, despite five of eight current MLS records being marked NONE and one remark directing buyers to nearby off-site parking.

Parking Assigned
Yes
High

Two listings explicitly mention parking spaces or stalls, including "There are 2 (TWO) Parking Stalls" and "one parking space." This supports assigned/designated parking, although the remarks do not consistently specify whether every stall is deeded or reserved and some MLS data may be copied between listings.

Parking Covered
Yes
High

Two listings explicitly state "Covered parking," and current MLS parking data also marks covered or garage parking in 4 of 9 listings. The repeated wording may be duplicated, but it aligns with the prior High-confidence conclusion and provides clear confirmation that covered parking is available.

Parking Deeded
No
Low

Parking availability is repeatedly mentioned, including “2 (TWO) Parking Stalls” and “Covered parking.” However, there is no evidence establishing that the stalls are deeded or legally owned with the unit.

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 remarks do not provide a recurring parking charge for this building. The Hale Koa Hotel parking-rate reference concerns nearby parking and does not establish a fee for the building's stalls.

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

The listings describe available parking stalls and covered parking but do not describe a formal waitlist system. There is insufficient evidence that the building has a 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

Keyed elevator access indicates controlled entry but does not specifically establish a card or fob system. No qualifying card-access terminology was found.

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

The listings discuss the location, rentals, parking, and keyed elevator access but do not describe security personnel or patrol services. No evidence of building security patrol was found.

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
Medium

Three of nine current listings include ACSPL, providing some evidence that split AC is available in the building. However, none of the eight public-remark entries explicitly says “split AC,” “mini-split,” or “ductless,” and the only related wording is the generic phrase “air-conditioned,” so the checkbox evidence may reflect agent entry or copy-paste.

Window AC
Yes
Medium

Three of seven current listings indicate ACWIUN, while none of the seven provided remarks mention window AC, window units, or wall AC. The feature is included based on the current MLS checkbox evidence, but the lack of explicit remarks across multiple agents makes the support moderate rather than strong.

Concrete
Yes
High

All 9 current listings identify concrete construction through the CONCRE construction-materials code. No public remarks explicitly mention concrete, but the evidence is exceptionally consistent across the listings and is unlikely to be an isolated copy-paste error.

Double Wall
Yes
Medium

Four of 9 current listings identify double-wall construction using the DOUWAL code, slightly more than the historical 3-of-8 coverage. None of the provided remarks mention double walls or two-wall construction, so this may reflect copied MLS coding and confidence remains moderate.

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

Two of 9 current listings contain the SLAB code, but the historical record strongly indicated that the building was not slab-founded. No public remarks describe a concrete slab or solid concrete foundation, making the current minority coding more likely to be inconsistent MLS data than evidence of a building-wide feature.

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

Three of 7 current listings identify above-ground construction, compared with 2 of 6 historically. No public remarks explicitly quote 'above ground construction,' so the evidence is moderate and may partly reflect MLS checkbox usage rather than independently verified descriptions.

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

The listings repeatedly and directly confirm that short-term rentals are permitted. They also describe the building as resort-zoned and suitable for legal vacation-rental investment.

STR Hotel Pool
No
Low

Short-term rentals are allowed, but the remarks do not indicate that units participate in a hotel rental pool. References to nearby Hilton, Trump, and other hotels describe location or views, not a rental program.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
Low

The remarks emphasize flexibility for both owner occupancy and investment, but do not state that owners must join a hotel rental pool. No mandatory rental-program requirement is evidenced.

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 remarks do not identify the property as leasehold or provide a land-lease expiration date. No specific year can be extracted.

Financing V A
No
Low

The remarks focus on resort zoning, vacation rentals, location, and parking but do not address VA loan eligibility. There is insufficient evidence that the building is VA approved.

Insured Fully
No
Low

The remarks do not discuss building or HOA insurance coverage, full insurance, comprehensive building insurance, or walls-in coverage. No explicit statement confirming or denying full insurance was found, so the feature is set to false with medium-low 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 were searched for fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire inspection, certification, and life-safety compliance language. Nothing relevant was found, so the feature is set to false with medium-low confidence based on absence of 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
Yes
High

One listing explicitly mentions "Gorgeous views of the ocean," and 1 of 9 current MLS records includes OCEAN in the view description. Although the evidence is limited to one listing and may be unit-specific, it is a direct statement supporting that the building offers at least one ocean-view unit.

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
High

Seven of 9 current listings include CITY in their view descriptions, and one remark explicitly states "Gorgeous views of the ocean, city and mountains." The consistency across multiple listings provides strong building-level evidence, notwithstanding possible MLS checkbox copying.

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

One of 9 current listings includes SUNRIS, but none of the provided remarks mention sunrise, morning sun, or eastern exposure. The isolated checkbox is not supported across listings or by descriptive evidence, so sunrise view is omitted.

View: Sunset
Yes
High

Three listings explicitly mention that Hilton's Friday night fireworks are viewable or visible from the lanai, including phrases such as “perfectly viewable right from your lanai” and “catch glimpses.” This is strong, repeated listing-agent evidence of evening/western views and supports retaining sunset views rather than treating the MLS checkbox data as authoritative.

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

Multiple listings explicitly confirm that Friday night fireworks are visible from the unit's private lanai. This directly establishes a fireworks view from the building unit.

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.
