Sandalwood
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 descriptive phrases like "majority owner occupied" or "highly owner occupied," but found none. The listings mention owner occupants and investors as target buyers, but that is not evidence of the building's owner-occupancy rate.
I searched the remarks for elevator-related wording such as "elevator," "elevators," "multiple elevators," and numeric counts, but found nothing. Because the listings never state the number of elevators, I cannot confirm this feature from the public remarks.
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.

Strong, repeated evidence across many listings supports cable being included in the maintenance fee. Remarks explicitly mention "maintenance fee includes all utilities + cable," "basic cable," and "cable TV," which is consistent with the high MLS hit rate (17/19).
This feature is supported mainly by the MLS inclusion code OTCOEX rather than direct remark language. Because 8/19 current records flag it, there is moderate evidence that common-area electricity is part of the fee, but the remarks mostly refer to unit utilities rather than hallway/elevator power.
No analysis available
This is one of the strongest features in the dataset: every current MLS record includes ELECTR. Multiple listings also say "maintenance fee includes electricity," "all utilities," or list electricity among the covered costs, leaving very little doubt.
Gas inclusion is strongly supported by both MLS checkboxes and listing remarks. Several descriptions explicitly say the maintenance fee includes gas, and multiple units also reference gas cooking/stove use alongside included utilities.
Hot water is repeatedly named in the remarks, including phrases like "hot water," "hot/cold water," and "water/hot water." Although one record contains WTRHTR, the dominant pattern across the building is that hot water is included in the fee.
Moderate evidence: several listing remarks explicitly state 'internet' or 'internet included' in the maintenance fee and 5 of 18 MLS entries flag INTSER. Evidence is consistent but less widespread than other utilities, so confidence is moderate.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is very well supported by the MLS data and the public remarks. Listings commonly state that maintenance includes "sewer" or "all utilities," matching the strong current MLS pattern.
Water is clearly a building-wide included expense. Every current MLS record flags WATER, and the remarks repeatedly confirm it with phrases like "water included," "hot/cold water," and "all utilities."

Strong evidence that Sandalwood offers storage units/lockers. Storage is mentioned in many of the public remarks—well over 10 listings—using phrases like "storage locker," "extra storage locker," "spacious storage," and "large storage," and one remark specifies that storage is located on the 12th/top floor. This looks consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error, and it aligns with the MLS data showing storage in amenities and/or unit features.

Evidence strongly supports that Sandalwood has a trash chute system. Historical MLS data shows 14 of 19 listings with the TRACHU amenity, and current remarks explicitly say "trash chute" in the building amenity list. The repeated building-description style across listings suggests MLS copy/paste is common, but the amenity is still consistently present enough to include with very high confidence.

Pool is strongly confirmed for this building. Multiple listings explicitly mention it in the public remarks, including phrases like 'refreshing pool,' 'sparkling pool,' 'community pool,' and 'swimming pool,' and the current MLS amenities show pool-related codes on all listings. The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be a real shared building amenity rather than a copy-paste error.

Strong evidence the building has shared/community laundry facilities. Public remarks mention it in many listings, including phrases like 'community laundry is located on 12th floor,' 'rooftop laundry with scenic views,' 'laundry room,' and 'community laundry on the top floor.' The repeated mentions across multiple listings strongly support this as a building feature rather than a one-off or copy-paste error.
No analysis available
Multiple listings state laundry is on the rooftop/top floor only, e.g., "rooftop laundry with scenic views" and "community laundry on the top floor."
No analysis available
Assigned/reserved parking is strongly supported across the listings. Several remarks explicitly mention "assigned parking" or a single dedicated stall, and the historical MLS data also shows ASSIGN in most listings (17/19). This appears consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy-paste error.
Covered parking is clearly supported. Many listings mention "covered parking," "1 covered parking stall," or "covered, secured parking," matching the historical MLS pattern (16/19 with covered/garage-type parking features). The evidence is consistent across numerous remarks and agents.
The listings consistently describe the parking as assigned, covered, secured, or included, but do not indicate that it is deeded/owned. I looked for terms like deeded parking, owned stall, or parking included in deed and found none.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee language, monthly parking charges, or rental parking costs, but the remarks only describe the parking type. No separate parking fee is stated.
No analysis available
Secured-entry parking is well supported by both MLS history and listing remarks. Multiple remarks explicitly say "secured parking," "gated/secured parking," or "secure entry," and the historical data shows SECENT in 11/19 listings. This looks like a real building feature rather than inconsistent agent copy.

I looked for references to a parking waitlist, waiting list, or joining a waitlist for parking and found none. The remarks describe parking availability but do not indicate a waitlist system.

0 of 17 public remarks explicitly mention a security guard or 24/7 security. Multiple listings instead say "resident manager on site," "secured building," and "gated/secured parking," suggesting access control but not dedicated security personnel. Given only 1/17 MLS records checking SECGUA and no explicit remarks across agents, there's strong evidence the building does not offer an on-site security guard.

Construction material data is highly consistent across the current MLS sample: 17 of 19 listings include CONCRE in construction_materials. None of the public remarks suggest a different structure type, so the evidence strongly supports that Sandalwood is a concrete building.
7 of 16 MLS listings include DOUWAL but public remarks contain no references to 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction.' The listings show inconsistent checkbox usage and no agent remarks confirming the feature, so there is insufficient evidence to conclude the building has double-wall construction.

Only 2 of 18 MLS records include ABOGRO in construction materials (low historical prevalence). Across all public remarks (many repeated), there are zero mentions of 'above ground', 'above-ground construction', or related materials—no agents describe a new or existing above-ground construction feature. Given the low checkbox rate and lack of supporting remarks, there is insufficient evidence to mark the building as above-ground construction.

I searched for short-term rental terms such as STR allowed, vacation rental, TVU, NUC, and 30-day minimum rules, but found no evidence that STRs are allowed. Based on the absence of supportive language, this is treated as not allowed.
I looked for hotel rental pool references such as managed by hotel, Hilton/Trump/Ritz pool, or hotel rental program language and found none. Since STR is not evidenced as allowed, this must also be false.
I searched for mandatory pool language like required participation, must be in rental program, or cannot opt out, but found nothing. With no STR allowance evidence and no pool-program language, this is false.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for leasehold language such as lease expiry, ground lease, lease ends, or a 4-digit expiration year, but found nothing. There is no evidence in the remarks to identify a lease expiry date.
The public remarks repeatedly and directly say the building is VA approved, which indicates VA financing is accepted. This is strong, explicit evidence from several listings.
The remarks repeatedly and explicitly say the building is 100% hurricane insured, which supports full building insurance / walls-in coverage. This is consistent across multiple listings, so confidence is very high.
No analysis available
I looked for references to fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE, fire safety certification, life safety compliance, and passed fire inspection language. None of the public remarks mention any such certification or inspection result, so this cannot be verified from the listings.

One of 17 current MLS listings lists a mountain view ('MOUNTA') in the view_descriptions, but none of the public remarks reference mountain, Koolau, or mauka views. Evidence is limited to a single MLS checkbox entry (likely applied to a specific unit) and does not appear broadly in agent remarks, so inclusion is based on some MLS data but with only moderate confidence.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that the building offers city views: 16 of 19 current MLS listings mark CITY in the view descriptions, while only 1 marks NONE. Public remarks consistently describe the property as being in the heart of Honolulu, near downtown/urban core, and several mention views or breezes from top-floor/common areas, which aligns with city-view inventory.
No analysis available
Two of 17 current MLS listings list 'GARDEN' in view_descriptions, but none of the provided public remarks explicitly mention garden, courtyard, or landscaped views. The feature appears in a small number of MLS entries (possibly for certain units) without broader confirmation in agent remarks, so it's included for the building with moderate confidence.

Strong evidence the building has a resident/on-site manager: historical MLS checkbox data reported 15 of 18 listings with RESMAN, and in the current remarks at least a dozen listings explicitly state phrases such as "resident manager on site," "on-site manager," and "on-site resident manager's office." The wording is consistent across multiple agent remarks (not a single isolated entry), supporting a high-confidence true value.
