Punahou Gardens Apartments
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.

The remarks mention tenant-occupied units, rental income, investors, and an owner/licensee listing agent, but none states a building-wide owner-occupancy percentage or indicates that the majority of units are owner occupied. The owner-occupancy rate is therefore unknown from the available public remarks.
The remarks directly identify the building as having two elevators. This confirms the current value of 2 and is consistent with the 13-story, 189-unit building context.
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.

At least 4 listings explicitly mention common-area maintenance, common expenses, or common areas included in the fee. This confirms the current MLS pattern and is supported by repeated remarks from multiple listings rather than a single isolated checkbox.
No analysis available
More than 10 listings explicitly mention electricity included in the maintenance fee, with phrases such as "includes electricity" and "maintenance fees include electricity." The evidence is consistent across many agents and matches 19 of 20 current MLS records.
At least 10 listings explicitly say the maintenance fee includes gas or "gas for stove." The repeated utility breakdowns across multiple listings strongly confirm that gas is a building-level included expense.
At least 6 listings explicitly mention hot water included, including statements that essential utilities or maintenance fees cover hot water. No listings identify unit-level water heaters through WTRHTR, so there is no strong contradictory evidence.

At least 8 listings explicitly mention sewer included in the maintenance fee. The same utility combination appears across multiple agents and strongly supports the current MLS designation.
At least 10 listings explicitly mention water included in the maintenance fee, including phrases such as "fees cover utilities" and "electricity, gas, water, and sewer." This is repeated across many listings and aligns with the 19 of 20 MLS records.

I searched for explicit surfboard and board-storage amenities. The listings mention laundry, parking, closets, pool, and trash chutes, but no surfboard-storage facility.
No analysis available
Trash chute is supported by 11/20 current MLS amenity records and at least 2 explicit public remarks. Key phrases include “community laundry, trash chute” and “on-site laundry, trash chute,” indicating the feature is a building amenity rather than a unit-specific claim.

The pool is explicitly mentioned in numerous independent listing remarks, well over 15 of the 20 listings, using consistent phrases such as “saltwater pool,” “community pool,” and “swimming pool.” This strongly corroborates the historical high-confidence conclusion and indicates a shared building amenity rather than isolated copy-paste checkbox data.
No analysis available
The saltwater pool is directly and repeatedly confirmed across the public remarks. This is consistent with the building context indicating that a pool is present.
No analysis available
Community laundry is explicitly mentioned in at least 18 current listings, including references to a "community laundry facility," "shared laundry facilities," and laundry "located on the premises." The evidence is strong across many listings and independently confirms the MLS amenity rather than appearing to be a single copy-pasted checkbox.
I searched for terms including coin laundry, paid laundry, laundry fee, card-operated, quarters, and coin-op. None of these payment-related terms were found in the remarks.
I searched for explicit wording such as 'laundry on each floor,' 'laundry room on every floor,' and 'floor-by-floor laundry.' Community laundry is confirmed, but its availability on every floor is not mentioned.
More than 20 listings explicitly mention parking, including phrases such as “parking may be rented monthly through the management office,” “parking is available on a waitlist basis,” and “parking can be rented for $80/month.” The repeated details across many listings and agents strongly support building-level parking availability, despite most MLS records showing NONE for assigned/included parking.

No analysis available
Multiple listings confirm that parking is not deeded to the unit. Parking is instead rented through management or the association, subject to availability or a waitlist.
No analysis available
The public remarks consistently identify the monthly parking charge as $80. Availability may need to be confirmed with management, but no conflicting parking fee was found.

The building repeatedly describes parking as waitlist-based or subject to availability through management. This confirms that a parking waitlist system exists.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit card- or fob-access wording, including key card access, fob access, card reader, electronic access, and keycard entry. General secured-entry language does not confirm a card-based system.
No analysis available
I searched for references to patrol officers, roving security, patrol services, and a patrolled building. No security-patrol service was identified in the remarks.

None of the 30+ public remarks explicitly mention concrete construction or a reinforced-concrete building. However, CONCRE appears in 18 of 20 current MLS records, a strong and consistent building-level signal across listings, so concrete construction is included.
Double wall construction is not supported by the remarks and only appears in 4 of 20 current MLS records. That pattern is weak and could reflect inconsistent agent input rather than a verified building characteristic. Without explicit mention of double-wall construction in the remarks, confidence remains low.
None of the provided remarks mention hollow tile construction. HOLTIL appears in only 1 of 20 listings, suggesting an isolated or potentially erroneous MLS entry rather than a feature confirmed across multiple agents.

Zero public remarks explicitly mention 'above ground construction,' 'above ground building,' or above-ground materials. ABOGRO is selected in only 5 of 20 current listings, which appears inconsistently documented, but the feature is retained based on its previously high-confidence historical status.

The remarks were searched for short-term rental, vacation rental, STR, NUC, TVU, legal transient use, and minimum-rental-period language, but none was found. References to investment properties and long-term tenants do not establish short-term rental rights, so STR permission is not supported by the public remarks.
Pool references concern an ordinary residential/community amenity rather than a hotel rental pool. No hotel rental program, hotel management, Hilton/Trump/Ritz pool, or similar arrangement was found.
The public remarks contain no evidence that owners must participate in a hotel rental program. Because STR permission and hotel-pool participation are not established, mandatory participation is false.

Remarks were searched for land lease, ground lease, leasehold, lease expiry, and renewal terms. No applicable land-lease expiration year was identified; the property is described as Fee Simple.
The remarks directly confirm that Punahou Gardens is VA approved. This supports VA financing eligibility, with no contradictory statements found.
The remarks were searched for fully insured, full insurance, comprehensive building insurance, walls-in coverage, and equivalent insurance language. No such statement was found, so full HOA insurance coverage is not supported by the public remarks.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for fire/life safety evaluation passage, FLSE approval, fire-safety certification, passed fire inspection, and life-safety compliance. None of these terms or equivalent statements were found, so passage is not supported by the public remarks.

Mountain views are explicitly mentioned in 8 of 20 current listings, including repeated remarks describing "serene mountain views," "nice Mountain Views," and "city and mountain views." The evidence appears across multiple listings and confirms that mountain-view units are offered in the building, while the 2 listings marked NONE likely reflect unit-specific views rather than absence of the feature building-wide.
Diamond Head view is mentioned explicitly, though only in a limited number of remarks. The strongest evidence is the direct phrase "DIAMOND HEADVIEW," which is enough to support the feature for the building even if it appears in only a few listings. This looks more like a true unit/building view offering than a widespread copy-paste pattern.
City views are identified in 14 of 20 current listings, with phrases such as "beautiful city and mountain views," "views of leafy treetops and city buildings," and "beautiful city and mountain views." This is strong, repeated evidence across many listings and confirms the previously high-confidence feature.

I found no remark-based support for sunrise views in the provided listings. None of the public descriptions mention sunrise, morning sun, or eastern exposure, and the visible view language focuses instead on mountain, city, and Diamond Head views. Given the weak support and likely MLS inconsistency, sunrise is best treated as not verified.

I searched for explicit unit-level fireworks-view language, including 'fireworks view,' watching fireworks from a lanai, and seeing fireworks from a unit. No qualifying fireworks-view statement was found.
No analysis available
At least 15 of 20 listings have the RESMAN amenity, and numerous independent remarks explicitly mention an "onsite manager," "resident manager," or "Res Mgr." The repeated references across many listings and agents strongly support that the building has a resident manager on-site, rather than this being an isolated copied checkbox.

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.
