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.

At least 4 listings explicitly mention common-area maintenance, common areas, or common expenses, including phrases such as "common area maintenance," "common areas," and "common expenses are included." This aligns with the current MLS inclusion code on 12 of 20 listings and appears consistently supported across multiple remarks.
No analysis available
At least 15 listings explicitly mention electricity included, including "maintenance fee includes electricity," "fees cover utilities, including electricity," and "utilities are included." The evidence is widespread across many listings and strongly confirms that electricity is included in the building maintenance fee.
At least 15 listings mention gas included in the maintenance fee, including "includes electricity, gas," "gas for stove," and "maintenance fees conveniently include electricity, gas, water, and sewer." The repeated utility descriptions across multiple listings strongly support this building-level feature.
At least 8 listings explicitly mention hot water included, including "maintenance fee includes electricity, gas, water, hot water and sewer" and "essential utilities included." The absence of WTRHTR in all 20 current records further supports that hot water is building-supplied and included.

At least 12 listings mention sewer included, with phrases such as "maintenance fee includes ... sewer" and "fees include electricity, gas, hot water, water, and sewer." The near-universal current MLS coding and repeated remarks across listings provide strong confirmation.
At least 15 listings explicitly mention water included, including "maintenance fees cover utilities, including electricity, gas, and water" and "includes electric, gas, water." This is consistently supported across multiple agents and corroborates the current MLS data.

I searched for explicit surfboard- and board-storage references. The listings mention closets, laundry, parking, trash chutes, pools, and other amenities, but no surfboard storage facility.
No analysis available
Trash chute is strongly supported: 11 of 20 current MLS amenity records include TRACHU, while at least three public remarks explicitly mention “trash chute.” The repeated wording appears in multiple listings and is consistent with an established building amenity rather than a recent or isolated checkbox error.

The pool is explicitly mentioned in well over 15 listings, with numerous agents describing it as a shared, community, or saltwater pool. The consistency across many independent remarks strongly confirms that Punahou Gardens has a building-wide swimming pool rather than a copied checkbox error.
No analysis available
The pool is directly and repeatedly identified as saltwater across numerous listings. This consistent evidence strongly confirms that the building pool is saltwater.
No analysis available
Community laundry is confirmed across numerous independent listings, with at least 18 of 20 current remarks explicitly mentioning it. Key phrases include “community laundry,” “shared laundry facilities,” and “clean community laundry facility,” making this strong building-level evidence rather than an isolated or likely copy-pasted checkbox.
I searched for coin laundry, paid laundry, laundry fees, card-operated laundry, quarters, and coin-op wording. None were found, so payment requirements are not indicated.
I searched for explicit references such as "laundry on each floor," "laundry room on every floor," and "floor-by-floor laundry." The remarks only confirm shared or community laundry facilities, so availability on every floor is not established.
Parking is explicitly mentioned in well over 20 listings, including multiple independent descriptions of rental stalls, waitlists, association availability, and management-office arrangements. Key phrases include “parking stall can be rented,” “parking is not included but can be rented,” and “parking is available by securing your spot through the resident manager”; despite many MLS records showing NONE, the consistent remarks establish that the building offers parking, generally for rent and subject to availability.
No analysis available

Multiple remarks confirm that an assigned stall is not deeded with the unit. Parking is instead rented through management or the association, often through a waitlist.
No analysis available
The recurring parking charge cited throughout the remarks is $80 per month. Availability and the exact current rate should still be confirmed with building management.

The building uses a waitlist-based system for on-site parking. Remarks also indicate that stalls are subject to availability and that street parking may be available.
No analysis available
I searched for key card access, fob access, card readers, electronic access, and keycard entry. The listings confirm secured entry and security cameras, but not a card- or fob-based access system.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for security patrol officers, roving security, patrol services, and related wording. The listings mention secured entry, cameras, and a resident manager instead, with no evidence of patrol service.

Eighteen of 20 current listings identify the construction material as CONCRE, but 0 public remarks mention concrete construction or reinforced concrete. The repeated MLS checkbox supports the feature, though the lack of narrative confirmation means it may reflect copied or unverified agent data rather than strong independent evidence.
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 discuss living in the unit, conventional rentals, and investment use but provide no qualifying evidence that short-term rentals are allowed. Based on the absence of STR permission language, this is treated as false with limited confidence.
References to a pool consistently describe a residential building amenity, not a hotel rental program. Because STR permission is not established, a hotel rental pool cannot be true.
The public remarks contain no evidence that owners must participate in a hotel rental pool. The ordinary residential pool references do not indicate hotel operations or mandatory rental participation.

The remarks repeatedly characterize the property as fee simple and do not mention leasehold ownership, a ground lease, or lease expiration. The several references to 2040 relate to plumbing or other special assessments and therefore do not establish a lease expiry.
The remarks directly identify Punahou Gardens as VA approved, which is strong evidence that VA financing is eligible. No contrary remarks were found.
The remarks were searched for fully insured, full insurance, comprehensive building insurance, walls-in coverage, and equivalent language. No qualifying statement confirms or denies full HOA insurance coverage.
No analysis available
The remarks were searched for fire/life safety evaluation passage, FLSE, fire safety certification, life-safety compliance, and passed fire inspection language. None of the listings explicitly confirms or denies that the building passed an FLSE.

Mountain views are explicitly mentioned in 9 of 20 current listings, including phrases such as "serene mountain views," "nice Mountain Views," and "beautiful city and mountain views." The repeated descriptions across multiple listings and the previously high confidence strongly support that some units in the building offer mountain views.
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 supported across 13 of 20 current listings, with several remarks explicitly describing city buildings, city views, or combined city and mountain views. Although some listings mention only mountain views or no view, the repeated city-view descriptions across multiple listings and the historically high confidence strongly support that the building offers units with city views.

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 unit-level fireworks-view language, including watching fireworks from a lanai or seeing fireworks from a unit. No such mentions were found.

At least 15 of 20 listings identify RESMAN in the MLS, and numerous independent remarks explicitly confirm a building or resident manager. The feature is described consistently across many listings and agents, including "onsite manager" and "on-site Resident Manager," so the evidence strongly supports that the building has a resident manager.

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.
