Tradewinds Plaza

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.

Owner Occupancy
18%
Low

Searched for explicit owner-occupancy statements like '80% owner occupied' or 'majority owner occupied' and found no matches. Because a current value (18.00) exists and remarks provide no confirmation or contradiction, we keep the current value with low confidence and note the lack of corroborating evidence.

Elevators
1
Low

The public remarks mention elevators (surveillance cameras for the elevator), confirming an elevator exists, but no explicit number is given. Per rules, because the current numeric value exists and remarks provide no elevator count, we keep the current value of 1 with low confidence and note the lack of explicit numeric evidence.

Association Fee Low
$339
High

Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee High
$815
High

Calculated from the highest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Association Fee (Penthouse)
$450
High

Calculated from association fees observed in penthouse unit listings for this building.

Fee Includes Central AC
Yes

No analysis available

Fee Includes Cable
Yes
High

Multiple agent remarks explicitly state 'cable' or 'cable TV' is included in the maintenance fee (phrases include 'cable included' and 'CABLE TV'). The CURRENT MLS association_fee_includes also lists CABTV on a majority of listings (10/13), indicating consistent building-level coverage rather than an isolated copy/paste error.

Fee Includes Common
Yes
High

8/12 current MLS entries mark OTCOEX (other common area electricity) in association_fee_includes, a pattern that usually indicates building-supplied common area power; no remarks contradict this and utilities are repeatedly described as broad/inclusive.

Fee Includes Coop Taxes
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Electricity
Yes
High

Strong, consistent evidence across listings: many remarks explicitly say 'electricity' or 'electric' is included in the maintenance fee, and the MLS checkbox ELECTR is set on all current listings (13/13). This is a building-level feature corroborated by both remarks and MLS data.

Fee Includes Gas
No
High

No remarks mention gas being included in the maintenance fee despite detailed lists of included utilities (electricity, hot water, sewer, cable), and only 1/12 MLS entries shows GAS in association_fee_includes, suggesting that was likely an agent checkbox error rather than a true building-wide feature.

Fee Includes Hot Water
Yes
High

Multiple remarks explicitly state 'hot water' is included ('hot water included in maint. fee' and 'INCLUDES ... HOT WATER'), and MLS checkboxes show HOTWAT on nearly all listings (12/13). No WTRHTR flag appears in inclusions, supporting building-supplied hot water included in fees.

Fee Includes Internet
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Marina
No

No analysis available

Fee Includes Sewer
Yes
High

Several agent remarks explicitly list sewer as part of the maintenance fee ('INCLUDES ... SEWER'), and the MLS checkbox SEWER is present on the majority of current listings (11/13), indicating sewer service is routinely covered by HOA fees.

Fee Includes Water
Yes
High

Evidence from agent remarks and MLS checkboxes indicate water is included: MLS association_fee_includes lists WATER on most current listings (11/13), remarks mention building coverage of water/hot water, and hot water is repeatedly called out as included—collectively supporting that water utility is covered by the maintenance fee.

Surfboard Storage
Yes
High

Multiple listings directly reference surfboard storage and a surf rack, indicating dedicated storage for surfboards and related gear. This is clear, strong evidence the building provides surfboard storage.

Pool Salt
No
Low

I searched the remarks for 'pool', 'salt water pool', 'saltwater', 'salt pool' and found no references. Given the building context indicates no pool and there are no mentions in remarks, pool_salt is set to false with low confidence.

Laundry In Unit
No

No analysis available

Community Laundry
Yes
High

Strong, consistent evidence across all 13 current MLS listings: multiple agent remarks explicitly state shared laundry — quotes include 'Card laundry.', 'Coin laundry.' and 'AMENITIES: Community laundry'. Historical MLS checkbox data also showed COMLAU checked on every listing, indicating the building provides community/shared laundry facilities.

Community Laundry Paid
Yes
High

Multiple listings explicitly mention paid laundry options (card and coin). I searched for terms like 'coin-op', 'card laundry', 'quarters', and found direct references indicating community laundry requires payment.

Community Laundry Every Floor
No
Low

Listings reference community laundry and paid laundry machines but do not state laundry is available on every floor. I searched remarks for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'laundry room on every floor', and 'floor-by-floor laundry' and found no matches.

Parking
Yes
High

Strong evidence across multiple listings that Tradewinds Plaza provides parking. At least eight separate remarks reference parking — key phrases include 'first-come, first-serve parking', 'each resident has use of 1 of the 23 first come first serve parking stalls', 'assigned secured covered parking stall', and 'deeded, covered, secure parking stall'. Statements come from different listing sections/agents and align with historical MLS checkbox data, indicating the building offers parking (both assigned/deeded and FCFS options).

Parking Assigned
No

No analysis available

Parking Covered
Yes

No analysis available

Parking Deeded
Yes
High

Several listings explicitly reference deeded/owned/assigned parking stalls (including a separate deeded covered stall), supporting that deeded parking exists in the building with high confidence.

Parking E V
No

No analysis available

Parking Fee
$60
High

One listing explicitly states the owned assigned parking stall carries a $60/month fee plus $25/month tax; I used that stated amount.

Parking Guest
Yes

No analysis available

Parking Secured Entry
Yes

No analysis available

Parking Tandem
No

No analysis available

Parking Valet
No

No analysis available

Parking Waitlist
No
Low

I searched for 'waitlist'/'waiting list' language. The building uses first-come, first-serve parking and also offers deeded/assigned stalls separately, but there is no explicit mention of a formal parking waitlist.

Security Keyed Elevator
Yes

No analysis available

Security Card
Yes
High

Multiple listings explicitly describe fob/key-card access and floor-restricted fobs, providing strong evidence the building has card/fob access security. This supports a high-confidence true.

Security Guard
No

No analysis available

Security Patrol
No
Low

I searched for terms like 'security patrol', 'patrolled', and 'roving security' and found none. The building lists cameras and on-site manager but does not advertise a security patrol service.

Security Video
Yes

No analysis available

Central AC
Yes

No analysis available

Split AC
No

No analysis available

Window AC
Yes
High

High consistency between MLS checkbox data (ACWIUN present in 11 of 13 listings) and listing remarks. At least a few remarks explicitly state 'window A/C' or 'window AC' (examples: 'Features include ... window A/C' and 'full kitchen ... & window AC'), while other remarks note 'AC' generally, indicating window units are common in the building rather than a single erroneous listing.

Concrete
Yes
High

MLS checkbox data across current listings strongly indicates concrete construction (11 of 13 listings list 'CONCRE' in construction_materials). Public remarks for the listings do not explicitly mention construction materials or contradict concrete construction, and there is no owner/site-visit verification to override the MLS data, so the building is very likely concrete.

STR Allowed
Yes
High

The public remarks repeatedly and explicitly state the building is a legal short-term / vacation rental property, making STR allowed with very high confidence.

STR Hotel Pool
No
Low

I searched for phrases like 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', or association with a hotel brand; none were found. Because STR is allowed but no pool program is mentioned, this is false with medium confidence.

STR Mandatory Pool
No
High

At least one remark indicates owners can use the unit or manage rentals and highlights flexibility rather than a required program. Therefore a mandatory hotel/rental-pool requirement is false with high confidence.

Land Tenure: Fee Simple
Yes

No analysis available

Land Tenure: Leasehold
No

No analysis available

Lease Expiry Year
Low

I searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to', 'leasehold expiring', and specific years. There were no leasehold or lease-expiry references, so the lease expiry year is unknown (null).

Financing V A
Yes
Low

I searched the remarks for terms like 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans'. There were no references to VA financing in any listing, so VA approval is marked false with medium confidence.

Insured Fully
No
Low

Searched remarks for 'fully insured', 'full insurance', 'walls-in coverage', and related terms; nothing found. With no public-remarks evidence and no prior value, defaulting to false with medium confidence (absence of mention suggests the HOA does not advertise full building insurance).

Fire Sprinklers
No

No analysis available

Fire Life Safety Eval Pass
No
Low

Searched remarks for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'fire safety certified', and 'passed fire inspection' and found no matches. With no public-remarks evidence and no prior value, defaulting to false with medium confidence (absence of mention suggests it is unlikely to be reported).

Flood Zone (Current)
X
High

Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

Flood Zone (June 2026)
X

No analysis available

View: Ocean
Yes
High

Multiple listings (at least 2 of 13 in current MLS) and several public remarks explicitly state ocean views: "spacious lanai with ocean views", "partial ocean view studio", and references to lanai/ocean breeze. This is consistent across different agent remarks and historical data, indicating the building does offer ocean-view units.

View: Mountain
No

No analysis available

View: Diamond Head
Yes
Medium

One MLS listing (1/13) lists Diamond Head as a view and multiple remarks reference the building's Diamond Head end/proximity. However, remarks stop short of explicitly describing a "Diamond Head view," so evidence is moderate that some units offer Diamond Head views.

View: City
Yes
High

Several listings (4 of 13) and multiple public remarks explicitly state city views—phrases include "stunning city views" and "some ocean, city and mountain views." The repeated, explicit mentions across listings indicate the building does offer city-view units.

View: Coastline
Yes
Medium

1/12 current MLS entries include COASTL in view_descriptions, and the building is located one block from Waikiki Beach near the shoreline, making coastline views from higher floors plausible, although the provided remarks only explicitly mention ocean, city, and mountain views.

View: Garden
No

No analysis available

View: Golf Course
No

No analysis available

View: Marina
No

Fireworks View
No
Low

I looked for phrases such as 'fireworks view', 'see fireworks from unit/lanai', or 'watch fireworks from building' and found no evidence. Absence of mention suggests the building does not advertise fireworks views.

East Waikiki
Yes

No analysis available

Pets Allowed
No

No analysis available

Resident Manager
Yes
High

Remarks repeatedly reference an on-site manager: 'on-site manager', 'resident manager lives in blg.', 'full-time resident manager', and 'manager on site'; 10/12 MLS entries list RESMAN in amenities.

Condotel
No

No analysis available

Coop
No

No analysis available

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.
