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.
Punahou Cliffs
Building Overview
Punahou Cliffs in Makiki-Tantalus (1984) — concrete building with Diamond Head views and on-site pool and BBQ area.
About Punahou Cliffs
Punahou Cliffs is a concrete residential building located in the Makiki-Tantalus neighborhood, built in 1984. Size information is not provided in the MLS data. Based on MLS data, the building offers Diamond Head views from some units.
According to available records, on-site amenities include a pool and a BBQ area. The building has central air conditioning and is constructed of concrete.
Additional details from MLS: covered parking is available, pets are not allowed, and short-term rentals are not allowed. Management company information is listed as unknown in the MLS. This description is based on MLS data; buyers should verify all details, fees, and rules with official sources and the managing entity before making decisions.

I searched for explicit owner-occupancy percentages and qualitative phrases such as "owner occupied," "majority owner occupied," or "highly owner occupied." None of the public remarks provide that information, so the percentage cannot be determined from the listing text.
I searched for explicit elevator counts such as "4 elevators" or similar wording, but none of the remarks provide a number. The only evidence confirms the building has at least one elevator, not how many.
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 AC is clearly supported by the remarks and MLS history. Several listings explicitly say "central air conditioning" / "central AC" is included, and the current MLS history also shows a meaningful number of matches. This is enough to keep the feature on for the building.
Strong evidence this building includes cable in the maintenance fee. The current remarks explicitly list "tv cable" among included fees, matching the high-confidence MLS pattern across most listings. This looks consistent across multiple remarks rather than a one-off copy-paste.
The MLS checkbox data strongly supports common area electricity being included, with 15/18 listings marked OTCOEX. Public remarks don't use the exact utility phrase, but they consistently describe maintained lobby, elevators, grounds, and shared amenities, which aligns with the MLS pattern. This appears to be a stable building-level fee inclusion.

Hot water is directly confirmed by the remarks and strongly supported by the MLS data. One listing explicitly says "hot water" is included in the maintenance fees, matching the high-confidence MLS checkbox pattern. There is no conflicting indication that units have their own water heaters instead.
Internet inclusion is supported by both the MLS data and the remarks. A current listing explicitly includes "internet service" in the maintenance fee, and the checkbox history shows this in a substantial share of listings. This suggests the amenity is genuinely offered, even if not always copied into every remark.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is very strongly supported. The MLS history is nearly unanimous, and the remarks explicitly list "sewer" among the included fees. This is consistent across the building and appears reliable.
Water inclusion is very strongly supported by both historical MLS data and current remarks. Multiple listings explicitly state "water" is included in the maintenance fees, and the checkbox history is nearly universal. This is a stable building-level feature.
BBQ is strongly supported across the listing set: current MLS data says 17/18 listings include BBQ, and multiple public remarks explicitly refer to "BBQ areas" and "private BBQ areas." This looks consistent across different agents and is not just a one-off mention.

Meeting room is explicitly confirmed in several remarks, including phrases like "Wine Cellar/meeting room" and "work room." Although only 1/18 current MLS records has MEEROO checked, the direct descriptive remarks provide strong evidence that the building has this space.
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.

Recreation area appears to be a real building amenity, supported by current MLS data on 14/18 listings. Public remarks repeatedly describe resort-like grounds and common amenities, including a "BBQ rec area," which is consistent with a shared recreation space.

Strong, consistent evidence across many listings shows the building offers storage units/lockers or private storage space. At least 10+ current remarks mention it in varying forms, including "private storage in the gated garage," "extra storage," "huge storage room," and a specifically sized "Storage Unit 10." The volume and consistency of mentions across multiple agents suggests this is a real, building-level feature rather than copy-paste noise.
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
Trash chute appears in a meaningful portion of the current MLS records (10/18), suggesting the amenity likely exists. However, no public remarks explicitly confirm a trash chute, so this is supported mainly by the MLS checkbox pattern rather than narrative evidence.

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.
The pool feature is strongly confirmed. Across many separate listings, agents describe a shared building amenity using consistent language such as "pool," "lagoon-style pool," "heated pool," and "pool and spa," which aligns with the historical MLS amenity data. This is repeated by multiple agents and does not appear to be a one-off or copy-paste error.
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 Punahou Cliffs offers in-unit laundry in at least some units. Across the provided remarks, multiple listings explicitly mention "full sized washer & dryer," "washer/dryer," or space for a full washer/dryer, aligning with the current MLS pattern where 16/18 listings include washer/dryer in inclusions. This appears to be consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy/paste error.
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.
No analysis available
Assigned/reserved parking is strongly supported across the listings, with multiple remarks calling out "two designated parking stalls," "dedicated parking," and specific stall/storage placement. This appears consistent across many agents rather than a one-off copy-paste issue.
Covered parking is overwhelmingly supported. Remarks repeatedly reference a garage, including "secure garage," "gated, covered garage," and stalls located in the garage, and the MLS data is consistent across all current listings.
The remarks consistently describe parking as included with the unit and assigned to specific stalls, including multiple references to tandem, designated, and dedicated parking. While the word "deeded" is not used explicitly, the language strongly supports parking being deeded/owned with the unit.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee language such as "monthly parking charge," "parking rental," or any separate parking cost and found none. The listings describe parking as included, so no separate fee is indicated in the public remarks.
Guest parking is mentioned in several listings, including exact phrases like "guest parking," "ample guest parking," and "guest stalls." The evidence is consistent enough to treat this as a building feature available to buyers.
Secured parking entry is strongly evidenced by repeated references to "secure garage," "gated parking," and keyed/security-controlled access. This aligns with the historically strong MLS pattern and appears consistent across multiple remarks.
Tandem parking is one of the clearest features in the remarks, with many listings explicitly saying "two tandem parking stalls" or "2 tandem parking (tandem)." The repetition across many listings makes this highly reliable.
No analysis available
I looked for terms like "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," or instructions to join a list for parking and found no references. The public remarks do not suggest a waitlist system for parking.
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
Central air conditioning is strongly supported and consistently described in the public remarks. Multiple listings explicitly say 'central air conditioning' or 'central AC,' and the current MLS data also shows it checked in most records (13/18 unit_features, 17/18 inclusions). This appears to be a stable building-level feature, not a copy-paste anomaly.

Construction material is consistently listed as CONCRE across all 18 current MLS listings, indicating a concrete building. The public remarks focus on finishes and amenities and do not contradict this; they neither explicitly mention nor refute concrete construction. This appears to be a stable building-level attribute rather than copy-paste noise.

I searched for short-term rental indicators such as "STR permitted," "vacation rental allowed," "NUC," "TVU," or a short minimum stay and found none. With no public-remark evidence supporting STR use, it is treated as not allowed/ not indicated.
I looked for hotel pool wording such as "hotel rental pool," "hotel program," or branded pool participation and found none. Since the remarks do not indicate short-term rentals are allowed, hotel pool participation must be false.
I searched for language like "mandatory pool," "must participate," or "cannot opt out" and found no references. With no evidence that STR is allowed in the first place, a mandatory hotel pool is also false.

I looked for ground lease language such as "lease expires [year]," "land lease to [year]," "leasehold expiring," or renewal/extension dates, and found none. Because no specific expiry year is stated in the public remarks, the lease expiry remains unknown.
I searched the public remarks for explicit VA language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," or "VA loans accepted" and found none. With no evidence in the listings, this is treated as not indicated in the public remarks.
Multiple remarks directly say the building is "100% insured," which is strong evidence of full HOA building insurance/walls-in coverage. The mention of master insurance in the maintenance fees is consistent with that interpretation.
Fire sprinklers are explicitly mentioned in 2 current public remarks, and the building-level MLS amenity appears consistently in prior data (11/17 and now 12/18 listings). The repeated phrasing suggests this is not just a copy-paste anomaly, but a genuine building feature that buyers should know about.
I looked for phrases like FLSE passed, fire/life safety evaluation passed, fire safety certified, or passed fire inspection. The remarks reference fire sprinklers and building security, but that is not the same as a formal pass on a life-safety evaluation.

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
Garden views are strongly supported across the current remarks: multiple listings explicitly mention "lush tropical gardens," "serene garden and pool views," "tropical and lush landscaping," and views of "beautifully maintained grounds." Combined with the prior high-confidence MLS history, this is a clear building-level feature available to some units.

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.
