Scandia Towers
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.
Scandia Towers
Building Overview
Scandia Towers in Waikiki — 12-floor concrete building (1968) with resident manager; parking, pets and short-term rentals allowed.
About Scandia Towers
Scandia Towers is a 12-story, 42-unit concrete building located in the East Waikiki neighborhood. Built in 1968, the building contains a single elevator and is managed by Associa.
Key features include on-site resident manager service and unit air conditioning provided via split and window units. The building permits pets and allows short-term rentals according to available records.
Additional details from MLS indicate covered, assigned parking is available. Buyers should verify parking specifics, any applicable association fees or rules, and current short-term rental policies directly with the management or listing agent. Based on MLS data; prospective purchasers are advised to confirm all information independently.

The penthouse listing is on floor 11, matching the highest MLS floor field. County and state records report 12, but those counts can include non-residential levels and do not establish the top residential floor.
The county assessor reports 42 residential units and the state registration independently reports 42 units for this single-building property. The currently stored value is supported.
Owner occupancy from AOUO registration(s) 153. Refreshed by Real_Estate_Scraper/reb_registry/propagate_owner_occupancy.py, which this lock does not block.
I searched for explicit elevator counts such as "2 elevators," "4 elevators," or "multiple elevators." No count was found, so the current value of 1 is retained with low confidence. There is no evidence in the remarks to confirm or deny that count.

All 5 current listings include CABTV in the association fees. No public remarks specifically mention cable, but the consistent checkbox data across multiple listings provides strong building-level evidence.

None of the 5 current listings include HOTWAT, and 4 of 5 list WTRHTR, strongly indicating unit-level water heaters. Public remarks do not mention hot water being included, supporting correction to false.

All 5 current listings identify SEWER as included in the association fees. No remarks explicitly mention sewer, but the consistent data across multiple listings is strong evidence that sewer is building-included.
All 5 current listings identify WATER as included in the association fees. Although the public remarks do not explicitly discuss water, the uniform MLS evidence across listings strongly supports this feature.

A trash chute is indicated in the current MLS amenities for 4 of 5 listings, across enough listings to support it as a building feature. Public remarks focus on unit improvements and building location and neither confirm nor contradict the amenity; the consistent MLS data and prior high confidence support retaining it.

In-unit laundry is strongly supported across the building: 2 of 5 current public remarks explicitly mention a full-size washer/dryer or “in-unit washer/dryer,” while MLS inclusions show washer/dryer in all 5 listings. The repeated explicit remarks and consistent MLS data across multiple listings confirm this is not merely an isolated or likely copy-pasted checkbox.

Strong evidence that parking is assigned/reserved in this building. Current MLS data shows 4 of 4 listings with ASSIGN, and one public remark explicitly states 'Includes 1 assigned parking spot.' This looks consistent across listings rather than a copy-paste anomaly.
Covered parking is explicitly mentioned in 3 of 5 current listings, with phrases including “covered parking stall,” “one covered parking stall,” and “1-covered parking.” This is strongly supported across multiple listings and aligns with the current MLS data showing covered or garage-related parking features in 4 of 5 listings.
Parking is repeatedly mentioned as covered or assigned, but there is no explicit statement that it is deeded or included in the unit's deed. Based on the absence of deeded-parking language, this is treated as not confirmed deeded parking.
No analysis available
The listings mention parking but provide no explicit monthly fee or separate parking charge. There is insufficient evidence of a parking fee in the public remarks.

Three of five listings explicitly mention split AC, including detailed references to split AC in all rooms and split AC units helping cool the unit. The repeated mentions across multiple listings and agents provide strong evidence that Scandia Towers offers units with split AC systems, rather than this being a single copy-pasted checkbox.
Window AC appears to be available in some units, but not consistently advertised. The strongest evidence is the MLS inclusions data (2/4 listings with ACWIUN), while the public remarks for the current listings specifically call out “split AC” instead of window units. This suggests the building offers mixed AC types across units rather than a universal feature.
Four of five current listings report CONCRE in the construction materials, consistent with the previously high-confidence conclusion that Scandia Towers is a concrete building. The public remarks focus on unit renovations, views, rentals, parking, and amenities and do not explicitly mention construction materials, but there is no conflicting evidence.
Three of four current listings include DOUWAL (double wall) in construction_materials. The public remarks do not mention construction type, but there is also no conflict, so the MLS data provides strong building-level evidence.

Multiple listings explicitly identify the unit and building as legally permitted for short-term rentals. The repeated references to a legal STR and resort-zone location provide strong confirmation that STR use is allowed.
Although the building is described as being in a hotel and resort zone and allowing legal STRs, the remarks do not state that it participates in a hotel rental pool. No hotel-pool program is confirmed.
The remarks do not indicate that owners must participate in a hotel rental program. Since no hotel pool or mandatory participation language appears, mandatory pool participation is not supported.

The remarks contain no leasehold or land-lease information. Because no specific expiration year is provided, the lease expiry remains unknown.
The remarks were searched for explicit VA-related language, including VA approved and VA financing, but none was found. There is no public-remarks evidence confirming VA eligibility.
I searched for statements that the building is fully insured, has comprehensive building insurance, or provides walls-in coverage. The remarks contain no insurance information, so this remains false with medium-low confidence based on the absence of an explicit mention.
No analysis available
I searched for references to fire/life safety evaluation, FLSE passage, fire safety certification, life-safety compliance, or passed fire inspections. None of these were mentioned in the public remarks, so this remains false with medium-low confidence based on absence of evidence.

Ocean views appear in 2 of 5 current listings. One detailed remark explicitly states 'Ocean ... views' and 'looking out to the Pacific Ocean,' providing strong confirmation beyond an MLS checkbox.
No analysis available
Diamond Head views are identified in 1 of 5 listings. The listing directly quotes 'Ocean and Diamond Head views,' which is explicit evidence rather than unsupported checkbox data.
City views appear in all 5 current listings, and no listing reports NONE. The consistency across listings, together with previously High confidence, strongly supports retaining this feature.

Sunrise views are reported in 1 of 5 current listings. The evidence is limited to an MLS SUNRIS designation with no corresponding remark such as 'sunrise view' or 'eastern exposure,' so it may reflect unit-specific or copied checkbox data.
Sunset views are reported in 1 of 5 current listings. There is no supporting remark mentioning sunset, evening sun, western exposure, or fireworks, so the evidence is limited and may be unit-specific or copied MLS data.

All 5 current listings include RESMAN in the MLS amenities, and the prior dataset also showed the feature in 4 of 4 listings. None of the provided public remarks mention a resident manager, but the consistent checkbox data across multiple listings provides strong building-level evidence rather than a single-agent indication.

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.
