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.

I reviewed all public remarks for explicit owner-occupancy percentages or qualitative statements and found none. Without an explicit numeric statement or a provided current value, owner-occupancy percentage is unknown.
I searched all public remarks for explicit elevator counts or phrases indicating multiple elevators and found none. Because there is no explicit numeric statement in the remarks and no current numeric value provided, the number of elevators is unknown.

11 of 20 recent MLS listings include OTCOEX (common-area electric) in association_fee_includes. No public remarks explicitly state 'common area electricity' or 'building power included'; most listings describe capital improvements (roof, painting, piping). Moderate confidence (0.74) due to MLS checkbox prevalence but lack of supporting language in agent remarks and potential copy/paste.

No listings (0/20) mark HOTWAT as included, while 18 of 20 list WTRHTR (water heater) in unit inclusions — a strong indicator units supply their own hot water. Remarks provide no counter-evidence; high-confidence evidence across multiple listings supports setting hot-water-included to false.

18 of 20 recent MLS listings include SEWER in association_fee_includes, with historical high confidence. Several public remarks mention association sewer replacements/updated piping as completed capital improvements, which is consistent with sewer service being covered by the HOA. High confidence (0.92) that sewer is included in fees across the building.
18 of 20 recent MLS listings include WATER in association_fee_includes, with prior high confidence. While remarks do not explicitly say 'water included in HOA fees,' they reference association plumbing work and exterior water drains without contradicting the MLS flag. High confidence (0.92) that water is included in the maintenance fees.

All current MLS listings (20/20) indicate a pool amenity and multiple agent remarks explicitly mention on-site shared pools—phrases include “two community swimming pool,” “the inviting lap pool is only yards away,” and “association pool.” Evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, supporting a high-confidence conclusion that the building offers swimming pool amenities.
No analysis available
Searched for 'salt water pool', 'saltwater', 'saline' and similar terms; none found. Pool(s) are mentioned but not described as salt.
Strong evidence that some units have in-unit laundry: 17 of 20 current listings reference washer/dryer or in-unit laundry (examples: 'brand-new washer and dryer', 'stacking washer and dryer', 'washer/dryer on the main level', 'washer/dryer in unit'). Mentions appear across multiple agent remarks and listing updates (including references to newly installed or included machines), supporting high confidence that the building offers units with in-unit laundry.
No analysis available
Searched for 'coin-op', 'card reader', 'quarters', 'paid laundry' and found no evidence in the public remarks indicating paid community laundry.
Searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'floor-by-floor laundry', or 'laundry room on every floor' and found none. Multiple listings explicitly describe in-unit laundry instead, so there is no evidence of laundry on every floor.
All 20 current MLS entries indicate parking (20/20 have parking_features set), and remarks repeatedly mention a newly paved and striped parking lot—e.g., “newly paved & striped stalls of the parking lot” and “newly paved parking lot.” Evidence is broad across many agent listings and aligns with historical high-confidence data, indicating the building offers parking.
Assigned parking is documented in the majority of listings (18/20 MLS entries show ASSIGN) and is repeatedly called out in remarks—quotes include “your assigned parking stall is located right at your doorstep” and “one assigned parking stall.” This consistent, multi-listing evidence supports that assigned/reserved parking is provided for units.
No analysis available
I searched for terms like 'deeded parking', 'owned parking', or 'parking included in deed' but found none. Multiple listings reference 'assigned' or 'designated' stalls, which does not explicitly indicate deeded ownership, so this is set false with medium confidence.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for explicit parking fee amounts or mentions of paid/rented parking and found none. Because no fee is specified, the monthly parking fee is unknown.

I searched for phrases like 'parking waitlist' or 'waiting list' and found none. Listings consistently describe assigned/reserved stalls rather than a waitlist system, so this is set false with medium confidence.

Searched for 'key card access', 'fob', 'card reader', 'electronic access' and found no evidence in the remarks to indicate card/fob security.
No analysis available
Searched for language about patrol or roving security and found none; the remarks reference a resident manager but do not indicate a security patrol service.

MLS inclusions show ACWIUN checked on 10 of 20 listings, and at least two public remarks explicitly state 'window AC unit' or 'window air conditioner in one bedroom.' Several other listings reference split AC or do not mention AC at all, indicating a mixed situation across units. Evidence indicates some units offer window units (buyers searching for window AC may find suitable units), but the feature is not uniformly documented across all listings.
8 of 20 current MLS listings include the CONCRE code for concrete construction, but none of the public remarks mention 'concrete', 'reinforced concrete', or similar phrasing. Evidence comes only from MLS checkbox codes across multiple listings and appears to be implied rather than explicitly described in agent remarks.
15 of 20 current MLS listings include the DOUWAL construction code indicating double-wall construction; however, none of the combined public remarks explicitly state 'double wall' or 'double-wall'. The feature is therefore inferred from consistent MLS checkbox usage across multiple listings (possible agent copy/paste), giving moderate confidence that the building has double-wall construction.
Hollow tile construction is indicated in 5 of 20 current MLS listings via the HOLTIL construction_materials code. No public remarks explicitly mention hollow tile or dispute it, suggesting agents who checked it based on building knowledge rather than recent changes. Given consistent building structure across the complex, this is moderately strong but not definitive evidence.

A concrete slab foundation is indicated in 5 of 20 current MLS listings via the SLAB construction_materials code. Although public remarks focus on remodels and capital improvements rather than structural details, nothing in them conflicts with a slab foundation. The pattern across several listings supports including this feature with moderate confidence.
No analysis available
9 of 20 current MLS listings include the WOOFRA code indicating wood-frame construction, yet none of the public remarks explicitly state 'wood frame' or 'wood frame construction'. This feature is implied by MLS coding across several listings but lacks corroborating language in agent remarks and may reflect checkbox usage rather than explicit description.

I scanned all remarks for explicit STR-permitting language and found none. In the absence of any STR references, STR allowed is set to false with medium confidence.
I looked for terms like 'hotel rental pool', 'hotel rental program', or references to hotel management and found none. Because STRs are not mentioned/allowed, hotel-pool participation is set false.
I searched remarks for language indicating mandatory participation ('must participate', 'required to participate') and found none. Given no STR/hotel pool references, mandatory pool participation is set false.

I looked for explicit leasehold language or a 4-digit lease expiry year (e.g., 'lease expires 2050' or 'land lease to 2065') and found none. Without any specific year referenced, the expiry is unknown.
I searched all remarks for explicit VA language such as 'VA approved', 'VA financing', or 'VA loans accepted' and found nothing. Absence of any VA-related phrasing leads to a medium-confidence false.
I searched for explicit phrases such as 'fully insured', 'full insurance', 'walls-in coverage' and did not find them. One remark states 'Building offers 100% hurricane insurance coverage', which is hazard-specific and does not meet the defined criterion for fully insured by HOA, so I report false with medium confidence.
No analysis available
I reviewed the public remarks for any explicit statement that the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation or inspection and found none. With no current value provided and no explicit mention in remarks, I report false with medium confidence (absence in remarks suggests no evidence of passing).

Across 20 recent listings, none have the MLS view field marked with any mountain-related keyword, and three explicitly state view='NONE'. Remarks focus on garden/greenery and sometimes 'green ridges,' but never mention 'mountain views' or 'Koolau views.' Given the complete absence of explicit mountain-view language in both structured data and remarks, this building is not currently treated as offering mountain views.

Multiple listings mention courtyard or garden-related features: "open courtyard...fully fenced", "lush landscaping", "open green space", "grassy common area", and one remark explicitly says "peaceful garden views." These references appear across many different agent remarks rather than a single copy/paste, indicating the building offers garden views to at least some units.

No listings (0/20) mention sunrise, morning sun, or eastern exposure in the remarks. With MLS view_descriptions showing 0/20 and no supporting agent language in multiple listings, there is strong evidence that sunrise views are not a building-level feature.
Although current remarks do not explicitly mention "sunset", "evening sun", or "western exposure" (0/20), historical data indicated high confidence for sunset views. No strong new evidence in agent remarks contradicts the historical assessment, so sunset views are kept as a possible building feature with moderate confidence pending further verification.

Searched for explicit language like 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from lanai', or 'see fireworks from unit' and found none in the remarks.

The MLS amenities checkbox RESMAN is selected in 19/20 current listings, indicating the building is likely to have a resident/on-site manager. However, no public remarks across the listings explicitly state 'resident manager', 'on-site manager', or similar, so the evidence relies on widespread checkbox usage (which may be copy-paste) rather than explicit agent descriptions.
