No analysis available
I reviewed the listings for explicit owner-occupancy figures or descriptive phrases indicating the percent of owner-occupied units and found none. Per rules, cannot assign a numeric occupancy percentage without explicit evidence, so the value remains unknown.
Multiple listings reference elevator modernization and mention 'new elevators' or 'elevator modernization' indicating the building has elevators and they were recently updated, but none of the public remarks specify the number of elevators. Per rules, cannot infer a numeric value without an explicit count, so the count is unknown.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

The saltwater nature of the pool is repeatedly emphasized across numerous independent listings. This consistent wording strongly confirms that the building’s pool is a salt water pool.

Listings mention 'community laundry', 'on-site laundry', or 'laundry facility' but do not indicate it is coin-operated or requires payment (no 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card', or 'paid laundry' language). Searched for 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card reader', and found no evidence.
Multiple listings repeatedly mention 'community laundry', 'on-site laundry', or 'convenient community laundry facilities', but there is no language indicating laundry is available on every floor (e.g., 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor'). Searched for phrases like 'each floor', 'every floor', 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found none.

Multiple listings clarify that parking stalls are not deeded to individual units and are instead rented separately. This strongly supports that parking is not deeded in this building.
No analysis available
Public remarks consistently describe an $80/month charge to rent a parking stall from the building/association. No other recurring parking fee amounts are mentioned.

Parking is not automatically assigned; instead, residents apply through a waitlist system administered by the resident manager/association. The consistency of 'via waitlist' language across many listings makes this very clear.
No analysis available

No analysis available

I searched for explicit STR language (short-term rental, vacation rental, NUC/TVU, 30-day minimum, etc.) and found none. Because there is no public-remarks evidence that STRs are permitted, the field is set to false with medium confidence.
The building is consistently presented as a standard residential condominium with a pool, community laundry, and resident manager, not as part of any hotel program. Since there is also no evidence that STRs are allowed, participation in a hotel rental pool can be confidently ruled out.
Listings highlight flexibility for owner-occupants and long-term investors without referencing any mandatory rental scheme. Given the lack of hotel operations and any 'required to participate' language, a mandatory hotel pool does not appear to exist for this building.

I searched the remarks for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring', and 'renewed through'. The listings only reference HOA special assessments (ending in 2040) and plumbing/elevator work; there is no explicit land lease expiry year provided.
Multiple current remarks for Punahou Gardens confirm that the building is VA approved. This aligns with prior data indicating VA financing is accepted.
I searched for terms like 'fully insured', 'full insurance', 'walls-in coverage', and 'comprehensive building insurance' in the public remarks and found none. Because there is no explicit statement that the HOA provides full/walls-in insurance, this field is set to false with medium confidence.
No analysis available
I searched the public remarks for phrases such as 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', 'life safety compliant', and 'passed fire inspection' and found no references. With no explicit mention and no prior confirmed value, defaulting to false with medium confidence.
