Punahou Cliffs
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.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

I searched the remarks for phrases like 'owner occupied', percents (e.g., '80% owner occupied'), and mentions of high/majority owner occupancy and found none. Because there is no explicit numeric information, the owner-occupancy percentage remains unknown and is not inferred.
Multiple listings mention elevators and a keyed elevator, confirming the building has at least one elevator, but no remark gives a numeric count. Searched for phrases like '4 elevators', 'four elevators', or any explicit number and found none, so the exact number is unknown and not changed.
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.
Several remarks explicitly note that units have central AC, and 7 of 16 listings mark central AC as included in the association fees. While no agent states 'AC included in maintenance' verbatim, the combination of a central system and repeated fee checkboxes points to central AC being covered by the maintenance fee for this building.
MLS checkbox data indicates cable TV is included in the association fee for most units (14/17 listings). Public remarks across listings do not explicitly mention cable, but there is strong, consistent MLS-level evidence across multiple agents rather than any contrary owner/manager verification.
Most MLS entries (14/17) indicate common area electricity is included in HOA/maintenance fees. Public remarks reference maintained grounds, lobby and elevators (powered common areas) but do not explicitly state the fee inclusion; the MLS checkbox consistency supports inclusion.

The MLS association_fee_includes shows hot water included for most listings (14/17). One listing notes a water heater (WTRHTR), suggesting at least one unit may have its own heater, but the preponderance of MLS checkbox data indicates hot water is generally included in the association fee.
About half of the listings (7 of 16) show internet service (INTSER) included in association fees, and none of the public remarks contradict this or draw attention to separate internet billing. This pattern suggests that at least some building internet service is included in the maintenance fees.
No analysis available
Nearly all MLS listings (15/17) list sewer as included in the association fee. Public remarks do not mention sewer explicitly, but the consistent MLS checkbox usage across multiple listings supports treating sewer as included.
MLS data consistently indicates water is included in the association fee for most listings (15/17). Although the public remarks for the listings do not explicitly call out water-in-fees, the strong and consistent MLS checkbox pattern across listings supports inclusion.
Strong evidence: MLS currently lists BBQ on 16 of 17 listings and many remarks explicitly state 'BBQ areas', 'private BBQ areas', or 'BBQ rec area'. Mentions appear across multiple agent remarks (not isolated to one listing), supporting high confidence that the building offers BBQ/grilling facilities.

Building-level outdoor spaces are well documented: 11 of 17 current listings have the PATDEC/COVPAT amenity checked, and several remarks explicitly reference lanais such as "private covered lanai," "two private lanais totaling 135 sq ft," and "large lanai (add'l 72sqft)." Evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks and aligns with prior high-confidence data that Punahou Cliffs units offer lanais/decks.
Insufficient evidence: Although 4 of 17 MLS checkboxes list a jogging/walking path, none of the public remarks mention a 'jogging path', 'walking path', or 'running trail'. Historical data lacked confidence and current remarks provide no corroboration, so path_jogging is omitted.

Strong evidence: MLS indicates recreation area on 13 of 17 listings and public remarks repeatedly describe 'resort-like amenities', 'rec area' and related shared recreation spaces. Multiple agent remarks reference a shared recreation amenity, so include recreation_area with high confidence.

Strong, consistent evidence that the building offers storage units/lockers: historical MLS checkbox data (11/17 building amenities; 12/17 unit features) indicated storage, and many current remarks explicitly state 'private storage in the gated garage', 'huge storage room', 'storage unit 10 is about 8 feet long…', and 'extra storage.' This feature is confirmed across multiple listings and agents rather than a one-off mention, so include storage_unit=true.
The public remarks were checked for terms like 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', 'surf storage', or 'bike and surfboard storage' and none were found. In the absence of any explicit reference to such a facility, it is likely the building does not offer dedicated surfboard storage, but this cannot be confirmed with high certainty.
No analysis available
Although no public remarks explicitly mention a trash chute, 9 of 16 MLS entries list TRACHU as an amenity, which is typical for this type of condominium. Given the majority checkbox indication and building class, it is likely that a common trash chute system exists.

Good evidence: MLS indicates whirlpool on 11 of 17 listings and numerous remarks explicitly mention 'spa', 'hot tub', 'lagoon-style pool and spa', or 'hot tub' across several listings. The repeated, explicit mentions across agents support including whirlpool as a building amenity.
Strong, consistent evidence that the building has a pool: numerous listings (at least 11 separate remarks) explicitly reference a pool or 'lagoon-style pool and spa' (e.g., 'overlooking the lagoon-style pool, spa', 'resort-style amenities including a lagoon-style pool, spa', 'heated pool, waterfall features'). The amenity appears across many agent remarks and matches the MLS amenity checkbox (16/17), indicating a genuine building-level pool rather than isolated unit-level claims.
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for indications that the pool is salt water, including phrases like 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', or 'saline pool'. None of the many pool descriptions specified salt water, so there is no evidence to classify the pool as salt water. Based on this absence, the pool is assumed not to be salt water, but with only medium confidence.
Strong evidence that some units have in-unit laundry: 15 of 17 current MLS listings list washer/dryer in inclusions and multiple remarks explicitly state "full sized washer & dryer", "space for a full Washer/dryer", or "NEW washer/dryer". Language appears across many agent remarks rather than being limited to a single copy/paste source, and historical confidence was high, so the building should be listed as offering in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
There are no references to coin-op, card-operated, paid, or shared laundry in any of the remarks. I looked for terms such as 'coin laundry', 'laundry fee', 'card operated', and 'coin-op' and found nothing, so paid community laundry is likely not provided.
No listing remarks reference any shared laundry rooms or laundry facilities on each floor; instead they consistently highlight space or hook-ups for full-sized in-unit washer/dryers. I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'community laundry', 'laundry room on every floor', but found none, so it is likely this feature does not exist.

Strong, consistent evidence that the building has covered parking: historical/high-confidence MLS data shows covered/garage for virtually all listings and current remarks in numerous listings reference 'covered parking', 'covered garage', and 'two covered parking spaces.' Mentions appear across multiple agent remarks and listings, indicating a building-wide covered garage rather than a single-unit exception.
Public remarks consistently describe parking stalls as included/assigned to the unit (designated, included, dedicated, side-by-side/tandem), which indicates parking is conveyed with the unit. No explicit word 'deeded' is used, but repeated language that stalls are included/dedicated supports true with moderate-high confidence.
No analysis available
Searched remarks for 'parking fee', 'monthly parking', 'additional parking cost', or rental pricing and found no references. No parking fee amount is provided in the public remarks, so value is unknown.
Multiple listings explicitly advertise guest parking or guest stalls ('guest parking', 'ample guest parking', 'guest stalls'), and MLS checkbox data lists GUEST on many units (10/17). Evidence is moderately strong across listings, though not universally called out in every remark, suggesting guest parking is available at the building.
Multiple listings describe secured or gated parking and related security features ('gated garage', 'secure garage', 'gated parking', 'keyed elevator', 'security and a resident manager'), and MLS data flags secured entry on many records (12/17), indicating the parking area has secured entry.
Clear and repeated mentions of tandem parking in many listings ('two tandem parking stalls', '2 tandem parking', 'two tandem parking stalls in a secure garage'), supported by strong historical confidence and current MLS checkbox prevalence (14/17), indicating tandem stalls are a common parking configuration in the building.
No analysis available
Looked for terms like 'parking waitlist', 'waiting list for parking', or 'join waitlist' and found none. Absence of any mention leads to false with medium confidence.
No analysis available
No listing remarks explicitly describe card or fob-based access (e.g., key card entry, fob access, electronic/card readers). References to 'keyed elevator' and 'secured parking' suggest controlled access but not specifically a card/fob system, so card access is assumed not present.
9 of 17 current listings include the SECGUA checkbox. Several unit remarks mention 'security', 'resident manager' or 'on-site manager' (quotes: 'peace of mind of security and a resident manager', 'security & ample guest parking'), providing moderate evidence the building offers on-site security service, though no listings explicitly state 'security guard' or 24/7 coverage and some language may be copy-paste.
The listings refer broadly to 'security', 'secured parking', and good building management but never to any roving or patrol-style security service. In the absence of explicit mentions of patrols, a security patrol is assumed not to be provided.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence: historical MLS checkboxes largely indicate central air (12/17 unit_features, 16/17 inclusions) and multiple listing remarks explicitly mention central AC — e.g., "The home includes central AC," "Enjoy the comfort of central AC," and "central AC." At least five separate remarks reference central AC, showing consistent agent reporting and supporting inclusion of this building-level feature.

MLS construction data is unanimous: 17 of 17 current listings list 'CONCRE' as construction material. Public remarks across listings do not explicitly state 'concrete' or 'reinforced concrete', but the consistent MLS checkbox across multiple listings/agents provides strong evidence the building is concrete-constructed.

Searched for STR indicators ('short-term rental allowed', 'vacation rental allowed', 'NUC', 'TVU', '30-day minimum') and found no references. With no evidence in the public remarks, marked STR not allowed with medium confidence.
Looked for 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', or hotel management references and found none. Because short-term rentals are not indicated in the remarks, hotel-pool participation is false.
Searched for language like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'must be in rental program' and found none. With no STR evidence, mandatory-pool is false.

Searched remarks for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to [year]', 'leasehold expiring', or any 4-digit lease expiry year and found none. The lease expiry year is unknown from the remarks, so returning null.
Searched all public remarks for explicit VA financing language (e.g., 'VA approved', 'VA financing', 'VA loans accepted') and found no references. With no evidence in the remarks, marked false with medium-low confidence.
Multiple listings explicitly state the building is fully/100% insured, which indicates the HOA carries comprehensive building insurance (walls-in style) per the remarks. This is direct evidence so confidence is high.
MLS checkbox shows 11 of 17 listings include FIRSPR, and at least 3-5 separate public remarks explicitly mention 'fire sprinklers' or 'built in fire sprinkler protection' (e.g., 'has fire sprinklers', 'building built in fire sprinkler protection'). The evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks and the MLS amenities checks, supporting a high-confidence true.
Remarks reference fire sprinklers and fire protection features, but none explicitly state that the building passed a formal Fire/Life Safety Evaluation (FLSE) or inspection. I searched for phrases like 'FLSE passed', 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'passed fire inspection' and found no explicit statements, so FLSE pass is not confirmed.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

At least two listings clearly reference Diamond Head views, including 'even a peekaboo view of Diamond Head' and a unit described as the 'model unit preferred for its floor plan & Diamond Head facing location' with views from Manoa Valley to the coastline. This shows that certain exposures in Punahou Cliffs offer Diamond Head vistas. Even though DIAHEA is not checked in the current MLS data, detailed agent remarks provide strong evidence that the building offers Diamond Head view units.
The MLS view field indicates CITY views in 7 of 16 listings, suggesting a consistent pattern rather than a one-off error. Remarks for a high-floor unit describe 'peaceful panoramic views of Manoa Valley to the City Coastline,' confirming that the building offers city/urban outlooks from at least some residences.
No analysis available
Multiple listings (numerous public remarks) explicitly reference gardens and landscaped grounds: phrases include "lush tropical gardens," "serene garden and pool views," and "manicured grounds." CURRENT MLS also lists GARDEN in 4 of 17 listings. Evidence comes from several different listings/agents rather than a single copy-paste remark, supporting inclusion of view_garden.

The remarks were reviewed for statements about seeing Friday night fireworks or watching fireworks from the unit or lanai. Since no such views were described, a fireworks view is not indicated in the available information.

MLS checkbox shows 14 of 17 listings include RESMAN, and multiple public remarks (at least 3 distinct listings) explicitly mention 'resident manager' or 'on-site manager' (e.g., 'peace of mind of security and a resident manager', 'on-site manager', 'resident manager, BBQ rec area'), indicating consistent reporting by agents and supporting a high-confidence true.
