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 explicit owner-occupancy percentages and phrases indicating a high or majority owner-occupied building. The remarks contain no such information, so owner occupancy cannot be determined.
I searched for an explicit elevator count such as '4 elevators,' 'four elevators,' or 'multiple elevators.' The remarks confirm that the building has elevators but do not state how many, so the number 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.
Multiple listings mention central AC as a unit or building feature, and one explicitly states that "central air conditioning" is included in the maintenance fees. The direct fee statement plus 10/20 MLS records provides strong confirmation.
At least 1 listing explicitly mentions "tv cable" as included in the maintenance fees. This agrees with the strong current MLS pattern of 17/20 listings, although the remark may be repeated or copied across listings.
Public remarks repeatedly describe the building's maintained "common areas," lobby, elevators, grounds, and amenities; one fee statement explicitly includes "common area maintenance." While common-area electricity is not named verbatim, the 17/20 MLS consistency and high historical confidence strongly support this feature.

At least 1 listing explicitly states that "hot water" is included in the maintenance fees. This is strongly reinforced by 17/20 current MLS listings, while the single WTRHTR record is insufficient to outweigh the broader evidence.
One listing directly says that "internet service" is included in the maintenance fees. The statement is consistent with 10/20 current MLS listings and the prior high-confidence determination.
No analysis available
At least 1 listing explicitly includes "sewer" in the maintenance fees. This direct statement is supported by the nearly unanimous 18/20 current MLS pattern.
At least 1 listing directly states that "water" is included in the maintenance fees. The evidence is strong across the dataset, with 18/20 current MLS listings showing WATER.
At least 6 listings explicitly mention shared BBQ facilities, using phrases such as "BBQ areas," "private BBQ areas," and "BBQ rec area." This strongly corroborates the current MLS data, which lists BBQ in 19 of 20 listings, indicating the feature is consistently supported rather than an isolated checkbox error.

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.
The building clearly offers patio/deck-style outdoor space, with 12 of 19 current listings showing the PATDEC/COVPAT amenity checked. Multiple remarks independently mention lanais and outdoor living areas, including phrases like 'private covered lanai,' 'large lanai,' and 'two private lanais,' which supports this as a building-level feature rather than a one-off unit detail.
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. The clearest public mention is "BBQ rec area," and the current MLS data supports this with 15/19 listings including RECARE. The evidence is consistent with a shared amenity rather than an isolated unit feature.

Storage is clearly available at Punahou Cliffs, with well over 10 current remarks explicitly describing storage lockers, private storage closets/rooms, or extra storage. Examples include "This unit conveys ... a storage locker," "private storage in the gated garage," and a separately marketed "storage unit" available for purchase, confirming the feature across multiple listings rather than a single copied remark.
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 is suggested by the MLS data but not confirmed in public remarks. With 11/19 current listings including TRACHU, the amenity likely exists, though the lack of explicit remark mentions keeps confidence moderate. This may reflect MLS checkbox usage more than repeated agent description.

At least 9 listings explicitly mention a spa or hot tub, including "relaxing spa," "lagoon-style pool, spa," and "pool, hot tub." The remarks align with the current MLS data showing WHIRLP in 12 of 20 listings and confirm that this is a recurring building amenity.
Multiple independent listings explicitly mention the building pool, including “inviting pool,” “pristine pool,” “lagoon-style pool,” “heated pool,” and “resort-style amenities that include a pool.” The repeated detailed descriptions across many agents, together with 19/20 current MLS amenity records and previously high confidence, provide overwhelming confirmation that the building has a shared pool.
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: 18 of 20 current listings identify washer/dryer in the inclusions, and multiple independent remarks explicitly state "full sized washer & dryer," "full-sized washer & dryer," or "NEW washer/dryer." The evidence is consistent with the prior high-confidence determination and is reinforced by specific remarks rather than relying solely on copied MLS 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
At least 14 of 20 listings carry the assigned-parking MLS feature, and multiple remarks confirm assigned or included stalls with phrases such as "two designated parking stalls," "dedicated parking," and stalls included with the unit. The repeated unit-specific parking descriptions across multiple agents strongly support this as a building feature.
Covered parking is supported by all 20 current MLS records and numerous independent remarks. Key phrases include "two covered parking stalls," "private storage in the gated garage," and "2 parking stalls in a gated, covered garage," making the evidence exceptionally strong.
The remarks mention multiple parking stalls, including tandem, covered, secure, designated, and included parking. However, none explicitly state "deeded parking," "owned parking," or that the stalls are included in the deed.
No analysis available
Searched for monthly parking fees, parking rental charges, additional parking costs, and similar language. No parking fee or recurring parking charge was identified.
At least 12 of 20 listings identify guest parking in MLS, while roughly eight current remarks independently mention guest or visitor parking. Repeated phrases such as "ample guest parking," "guest parking," and "guest stalls" confirm that guest parking is available at the building.
Secured parking or controlled access is supported in at least 14 of 20 current MLS records and by multiple detailed remarks. Examples include "two tandem parking stalls located in a secure garage," "private storage in the gated garage," "Gated Parking, Keyed Elevator," and "secured parking," indicating a genuine building amenity rather than a single copied description.
Tandem parking is present in 17 of 20 current MLS records and is explicitly described in many remarks across different listings. Repeated wording includes "two tandem parking stalls," "2 tandem parking," and "2 parking (tandem)," providing very strong confirmation that the building offers tandem stalls.
No analysis available
Searched for "parking waitlist," "parking waiting list," and instructions to join a list for parking. The remarks do not mention a parking waitlist.
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 across the building: at least 7 current remarks explicitly mention 'central air conditioning' or 'central AC,' including statements that it is included in maintenance fees. This aligns with the historical high-confidence evidence and widespread MLS coding across 15/20 unit-feature records and 19/20 inclusion records, indicating the feature is genuine rather than isolated copy-paste.

Concrete construction is strongly validated by the MLS data, with 20 of 20 listings reporting CONCRE in construction materials. Public remarks do not specifically use phrases such as “concrete construction,” but the complete and consistent MLS coverage across listings is compelling.

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.

Searched for STR, vacation-rental, NUC, TVU, legal short-term rental, minimum-stay, and owner-occupancy language. No such remarks were found, so there is no public-remarks evidence that short-term rentals are allowed.
Searched for hotel rental pool, hotel rental program, hotel management, and branded rental-pool references. None were found, and this feature must be false because STR allowance was not established.
Searched for statements that participation is mandatory, required, or cannot be declined. No such language was found, and this feature must be false because STR allowance was not established.

Searched for leasehold language, ground-lease terms, expiration dates, and renewal or extension years. No specific lease-expiry year or lease-renewal information was found.
Searched for explicit terms such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted." None of the public remarks mention VA approval or financing.
Multiple remarks support building-wide insurance coverage, including the direct statement that the building is '100% insured.' This is strong evidence that the HOA provides full building insurance coverage.
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 searched for references to FLSE, fire/life safety evaluation passage, fire safety certification, life-safety compliance, and passed fire inspections. The remarks mention fire sprinklers and fire sprinkler protection, but that does not establish that an FLSE was passed.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

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 supported by both MLS history and remarks. The strongest current evidence is the phrase “panoramic views of Manoa Valley to the City Coastline,” and the historical field shows CITY in 12 of 19 listings, indicating this is not isolated. Overall, the feature appears legitimately available in the building.
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.

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.

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.
