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.

I searched for explicit occupancy figures like "80% owner occupied" as well as qualitative descriptions such as majority owner occupied or highly owner occupied. The remarks do not provide any owner-occupancy information. Since this is not stated anywhere, the value remains unknown.
I searched the remarks for any explicit elevator count or phrases such as multiple elevators, four elevators, or similar wording. The listings only reference elevator modernization/replacement and a special assessment tied to elevator work, which supports that elevators exist but does not confirm how many. Since the current value is already present, it remains 1 with low confidence.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Strong building-level evidence confirms maintenance fees include water. Across many listings, agents repeatedly state variations of "maintenance fee includes water," "water and sewer," and "hot water, water"; this appears consistent rather than a one-off copy-paste error. Current MLS data also supports this, with 19/20 listings showing WATER in association_fee_includes.

I searched for surfboard storage-related amenities such as board storage, surf storage, or bike-and-surf storage. None of the remarks mention any such facility for the building.

Pool is strongly supported across the building. The current MLS amenities show pool in 20 out of 20 listings, and many agent remarks explicitly mention it, often with details such as 'saltwater pool,' 'community pool,' and 'refreshing pool area.' This appears consistent across multiple listings rather than a copy-paste error.
No analysis available
This feature is directly and repeatedly confirmed in the public remarks. The pool is described as a saltwater/salt water pool in multiple listings, so confidence is very high.
No analysis available
Community laundry is strongly supported for this building. Multiple listings from different remarks explicitly mention 'community laundry,' 'shared laundry facilities,' 'on-site laundry,' and a 'laundry area,' and the current MLS data shows COMLAU in 18 of 20 listings. This looks consistent across many agents rather than a one-off copy/paste error.
I looked for terms indicating paid laundry such as coin laundry, card-operated machines, quarters, or a laundry fee. The listings repeatedly mention community/shared laundry, but none specify that it requires payment.
I searched for explicit wording like 'laundry on each floor,' 'every floor,' or 'floor-by-floor laundry,' but the remarks only mention shared/community laundry facilities on the property. That supports a communal laundry amenity, not laundry on every floor.
Parking is supported by many listings, with repeated phrases like "parking is available on a waitlist basis," "parking can be rented for $80/month," and "parking is available by securing your spot through the resident manager." Roughly a dozen-plus remarks mention it in some form, while most MLS entries still show NONE, suggesting the checkbox data is often omitted or inconsistently entered rather than the feature being absent.

Multiple listings explicitly state the parking is not deeded with the unit. The parking appears to be rented or assigned via the building rather than owned with the condo.
No analysis available
The monthly parking fee is consistently stated as $80 in the listings. I did not find a conflicting parking amount in the remarks.

The listings clearly describe parking as waitlist-based. Several remarks mention joining a waitlist or securing a stall through the manager/association when available.
No analysis available
I searched for key card, fob, card reader, and keycard entry wording. The building is described as secured, but the public remarks do not specifically indicate card/fob access.
No analysis available
I looked for any references to patrol service or roving security. The remarks mention secured entry, cameras, and a resident manager, but not a patrol or guard patrol service.

Concrete construction appears likely for Punahou Gardens Apartments based on current MLS data showing 18 of 20 listings with CONCRE checked. None of the public remarks explicitly say “concrete” or “reinforced concrete,” so this is supported more by the consistent MLS pattern than by listing text. The evidence looks broad across many listings and not like a single copy-paste entry, though it is still indirect.
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.

I looked for explicit STR indicators like short-term rental allowed, vacation rental, NUC/TVU, or hotel-program language, and none were mentioned. The remarks repeatedly discuss long-term renting and owner/investor use, but that is not evidence that short-term rentals are allowed.
I searched for hotel rental pool references or any hotel-operated rental program participation and found none. Because there is also no evidence that STR is allowed, this feature should remain false.
I looked for phrases like mandatory hotel pool, required participation, or non-optional rental program terms, and found nothing. The public remarks only mention a regular community pool and do not describe any rental-pool obligation.

I searched the remarks for leasehold language such as "lease expires," "ground lease," "leasehold expiring," or a specific expiration year, but found nothing. There is no public remark evidence to identify a land lease expiry date, so this remains unknown.
Public remarks directly confirm the building is VA approved, which indicates VA financing is accepted. I found no contradictory remarks, so this is a strong confirmation.
I searched the remarks for HOA insurance wording such as fully insured, walls-in coverage, or comprehensive building insurance. The listings discuss maintenance fees, utilities, assessments, and repairs, but not insurance coverage. With no evidence in the remarks, this is marked false at low confidence.
No analysis available
I looked for explicit fire/life safety evaluation references, including FLSE, fire inspection pass language, and life safety compliance statements. None were found in the public remarks. Because there is no current positive value and no supporting evidence, this is marked false with low-to-medium confidence based on absence of mention.

Mountain views are well supported across the remarks. At least 7 listings explicitly mention phrases like "mountain views," "nice Mountain Views," "City and Mountain views," and "mauka breezes." This appears consistent across multiple agents and is not just a single copy-paste mention.
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 strongly supported, with many remarks mentioning "city views," "city buildings," "urban convenience," and "Downtown Honolulu" visibility context. At least 6 listings directly reference city/cityscape-style views, and several others describe high-floor units with urban outlooks. The evidence is broad and consistent.

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 statements like 'fireworks view,' 'watch fireworks from the lanai,' or similar unit-level viewing language. The remarks mention city, mountain, and pool views, but nothing about fireworks views from the building.
No analysis available
Resident manager is supported by both the MLS amenity data and repeated listing remarks. About 14 of 20 listings have RESMAN checked, and many descriptions explicitly mention a "resident manager," "onsite manager," or "on-site Resident Manager." The consistency across multiple agents and listings makes this feature highly credible.
