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 for numerical percentages and descriptions such as “80% owner occupied,” “majority owner occupied,” or “highly owner occupied.” No relevant owner-occupancy information appears in the remarks, so the percentage remains unknown.
I searched for explicit counts such as “4 elevators,” “four elevators,” or “multiple elevators.” The remarks only mention that the building has well-maintained elevators and a keyed elevator, without stating a number. The elevator count remains unknown.
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 mentioned in numerous remarks, including "central air conditioning provides year-round comfort" and several descriptions of units with central AC. One listing directly states that central air conditioning is included in the maintenance fees, supporting the 11/20 MLS inclusion rate.
CABTV appears in 18/20 current MLS listings, providing strong building-level evidence. One remark explicitly says "tv cable" is included in the maintenance fees, confirming the checkbox data.
OTCOEX appears in 17/20 listings, indicating a consistent building-level inclusion. Remarks describe "impeccably maintained" grounds, lobby, elevators, and common areas, while one explicitly states that common area maintenance is included in the fees.

HOTWAT appears in 18/20 current listings, with only 1/20 showing WTRHTR. Direct remarks state that monthly maintenance fees cover "hot water," strongly confirming that hot water is included at the building level.
INTSER appears in 10/20 listings, and a direct remark says that "internet service" is included in the maintenance fees. This explicit statement, together with the repeated MLS coding, supports inclusion.
No analysis available
SEWER appears in 17/20 current listings, showing strong consistency across the building. One detailed fee statement explicitly lists "sewer" as included, confirming the feature.
WATER appears in 18/20 current listings, providing strong building-level evidence. A detailed remark explicitly lists "water" among the utilities included in the maintenance fees, with another noting that most utilities are covered.
At least 6 listings explicitly mention building BBQ facilities, using phrases such as "BBQ areas," "private BBQ areas," and "BBQ rec area." The repeated references across multiple listings and the 19/20 current MLS selections provide strong evidence that BBQ facilities are a building amenity.

At least 3 listings explicitly mention a building meeting or work room, including "Wine Cellar/meeting room," "meeting room," and "Work room." These descriptions indicate a shared amenity rather than a private unit feature, confirming the meeting room despite limited current checkbox selection.
Patio/deck amenities are strongly supported across the building: at least five current listings explicitly mention a lanai or other outdoor living space, including a private covered lanai, two private lanais, and large lanais. This aligns with the 14/20 current MLS amenity records marked PATDEC/COVPAT and confirms the historically high-confidence feature.
No provided listing remarks explicitly mention a jogging or walking path. Although 6 of 20 current MLS records include WAJOPA, this appears to be unsupported checkbox data, so the feature is omitted pending corroborating remarks or firsthand verification.

Multiple listings refer to recreation-related shared spaces, including "BBQ rec area" and pool areas with "ample gathering areas." With RECARE selected in 15 of 20 current listings and high historical confidence, the building offers a recreation area.

At least 15 of 20 listings include storage in MLS unit features, and 12 of 20 include storage-related building amenities. Current remarks from many apparent listing periods and agents independently describe private storage rooms or lockers, including "storage locker," "extra storage," and storage located next to or behind parking stalls, providing strong evidence that storage units are available.
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
None of the provided listings mention a "trash chute," "garbage chute," or "refuse chute." The 10/20 MLS selections are inconsistent and appear unsupported by public remarks, so the feature should not be included without direct verification.

At least 9 listings explicitly reference the building's shared spa or hot tub, with repeated phrases such as "relaxing spa," "pool and spa," and "hot tub." This aligns with the current MLS data showing WHIRLP in 13 of 20 listings and confirms the amenity across multiple agents.
At least 15 listings explicitly mention the building pool, including phrases such as “resort-style swimming pool,” “serene lagoon-style pool,” “pristine pool,” “heated pool,” and “oversize lagoon style pool.” The feature is consistently described by multiple agents across the listing history and is strongly corroborated by current MLS amenity data showing pool-related entries in 19/20 listings.
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.
In-unit laundry is strongly supported by current MLS data, with washer/dryer included in 19 of 20 listings. At least five remarks explicitly mention the feature using phrases such as “side-by-side laundry,” “full size washer and dryer,” and “new washer/dryer,” providing consistent confirmation across multiple listings rather than relying only on copied checkbox data.
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 parking is strongly supported by 14 of 20 current MLS listings and repeated remarks describing parking stalls conveyed with the units. Phrases such as “two designated parking stalls,” “three parking stalls,” and “parking stalls included” appear across multiple listings, indicating a building-level feature rather than isolated copy-paste.
Covered parking is exceptionally well supported, appearing in the current MLS data for 20 of 20 listings. Multiple remarks independently confirm “secure covered parking,” “two covered parking stalls,” and parking in a “gated, covered garage.”
Numerous listings consistently describe two to four parking stalls as included with the units, along with references to designated, private, gated, and secure parking. Although the word "deeded" is not used explicitly, the repeated inclusion of assigned stalls strongly supports deeded or unit-associated parking.
No analysis available
The remarks mention included parking, guest parking, and an additional parking stall available for purchase or rental. They do not state a monthly parking charge, so the parking fee is unknown.
The building offers guest parking, supported by 11 of 20 current MLS records and repeated remarks from multiple listings. Explicit phrases include “guest parking,” “ample guest parking,” and “guest stalls,” making this more than a single-agent checkbox artifact.
Secured parking is strongly confirmed in 15 of 20 current MLS listings and across multiple public remarks. Repeated descriptions such as “two tandem parking stalls located in a secure garage,” “gated parking,” and “secured parking” indicate a building-level security feature.
Tandem parking is very strongly supported by 17 of 20 current MLS listings and repeated explicit remarks from multiple listings. Common phrases include “two tandem parking stalls,” “2 tandem parking,” and “2 parking stalls (tandem),” confirming that tandem stalls are a recurring building offering.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for parking waitlist, waiting list, or instructions to join a list. They mention guest parking and opportunities to purchase additional stalls, but no waitlist was identified.
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.
Security is supported by 10/20 current MLS amenity checkboxes and at least three remarks explicitly mentioning “security” or “security and a resident manager.” Evidence is spread across multiple listings, though some descriptions say only “security” or “resident manager” rather than clearly confirming a 24-hour guard, so the feature may partly reflect copied or broadly interpreted MLS data.
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 is strongly validated across the building. At least 8 current remarks explicitly mention "central air conditioning," "central a/c," or "central AC," including statements that it provides year-round comfort and is included in maintenance fees. This aligns with the MLS data showing ACCEN/CENAC in 15/20 listings and ACCEN in 19/20 inclusions, indicating broad building-wide evidence rather than an isolated or unsupported checkbox.

Concrete construction is strongly supported across the building's listings, with 19 of 20 current records identifying CONCRE as a construction material. No public remarks explicitly state concrete construction, but the near-unanimous MLS data and prior high confidence make this reliable.
Seven of 20 listings contain the DOUWAL construction code, but none of the provided remarks mention double-wall construction or describe two walls. Because the evidence is limited to a minority of MLS checkboxes with no corroborating remarks, the feature is not validated.

A concrete slab is reported in only 4 of 20 listings, with no supporting remarks quoting “concrete slab” or “solid concrete foundation.” Because the evidence is sparse and appears to be checkbox-only, construction_slab is not validated despite the limited MLS indications.

The remarks were searched for short-term rental, vacation rental, STR, NUC, TVU, 30-day minimum, and owner-occupant language. None were found, so short-term rental permission is not supported by the public remarks and is treated as false with low-to-medium confidence.
The listings describe a resort-style or lagoon-style swimming pool, spa, wine cellar, and landscaped grounds, but do not mention a hotel rental pool, hotel management, or rental program. Because STR is not supported, hotel-pool participation is also false.
The remarks contain no language stating that owners must participate in a hotel pool or rental program. The listings also provide no evidence of a hotel rental operation, and the STR prerequisite is not met, so mandatory pool participation is false.

The remarks were searched for leasehold, land lease, lease expiry, renewal, and ground lease language. No specific expiration or extension year was mentioned, so the lease expiry remains unknown.
The remarks were searched for explicit references to VA approval, VA financing, or VA loans being accepted. None were found, so VA approval cannot be confirmed and is treated as false with low confidence.
Multiple remarks support building-wide HOA insurance coverage. The direct statement that the building is '100% insured' is strong evidence that it is fully insured.
Fire sprinklers are strongly supported across the listing history and current remarks. At least four listings explicitly mention the building’s sprinkler system, using phrases such as “fire sprinklers,” “has fire sprinklers,” and “built in fire sprinkler protection,” which confirms the MLS amenity is a genuine building-level feature rather than isolated checkbox copying.
The remarks mention unit-level fire sprinklers, building fire sprinkler protection, and that the building is 100% insured, but none of these statements confirms an FLSE pass or fire-safety certification. Under the rules, this is false with medium confidence because there is no explicit current value or qualifying public-remarks evidence.

Mountain views are mentioned across multiple listings, including 'breathtaking panoramic treetop and mountain views,' 'city and mountain views,' 'beautiful views of Manoa Valley,' and 'panoramic views of Manoa Valley to the City Coastline.' The evidence is consistent across several agents and confirms that some Punahou Cliffs units offer mountain views.
Diamond Head views are clearly supported by multiple listings. At least 3 current listings reference them directly, including phrases like “peekaboo view of Diamond Head” and “Diamond Head & beyond.” The evidence is consistent across different remarks and appears to be a real building feature, not copy-paste noise.
City views are strongly supported by 13 of 20 current MLS listings and confirming public remarks. The strongest phrases are "city and mountain views" and "panoramic views of Manoa Valley to the City Coastline," showing the building offers units with city-facing outlooks.
No analysis available
Garden views and landscaped surroundings are strongly supported across the listings. Key phrases include "lush tropical gardens," "lush tropical grounds," "landscaped grounds," "views of greenery," and "serene garden and pool views," indicating consistent evidence from multiple remarks rather than a single copied description.

Sunrise/eastern exposure is supported by 3 of 20 current MLS listings and an explicit remark stating the lanai is 'FACING EAST.' A separate listing describes the lanai as ideal for 'morning coffee,' providing additional though less direct support that some units receive sunrise or morning-sun exposure.
Sunset views are supported for some units, with SUNSET appearing in 4 of 20 MLS view descriptions. One detailed remark specifically mentions a private lanai perfect for "morning coffee or sunset relaxation," so the building should be considered to offer sunset-view units despite limited narrative detail.
No analysis available
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.

At least four listings explicitly confirm on-site building management, including "On-site management is congenial," "a resident manager," and "an on-site manager." The remarks support the current MLS data showing RESMAN in 14/20 listings, making this a strong building-level feature.
