Reviewed all remarks for numeric percentages and qualitative phrases distinguishing owners from renters, but none were provided. The owner-occupancy rate is therefore unknown from the available information.
The remarks repeatedly describe low-rise, split-level and single-level townhomes but never reference elevators or lifts. Without an explicit statement or count, the number of elevators is unknown.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

Roughly half of recent listings (11/20) mark OTCOEX in the association_fee_includes field, which is commonly used when common-area electricity is paid through the HOA. No remarks mention owners paying separately for common-area power, and the complex has shared amenities (e.g., pools, walkways) that require building-supplied electricity. This pattern suggests common-area electricity is bundled into the maintenance fees despite some MLS inconsistency.

Across 20 listings, 0/20 mark HOTWAT in the association_fee_includes field and 18/20 list WTRHTR in inclusions, indicating each unit has its own water heater. The remarks never mention building-provided or HOA-included hot water. This is strong evidence that hot water is not included in the maintenance fees.

In 19 out of 20 recent listings, SEWER appears in the association_fee_includes field, suggesting sewer service is consistently paid through the HOA. Listing remarks never mention separate sewer billing, and instead focus on building-wide capital improvements and insurance. This provides strong, building-level evidence that sewer is included in the maintenance fees.
Water appears in the association_fee_includes field for 19 of 20 listings, pointing to water being covered by the maintenance fees rather than billed separately. The public remarks never state that owners pay their own water, and instead emphasize shared amenities and association-managed improvements. This consistent pattern across many listings strongly supports water being HOA-included.

Multiple listings describe shared pools on-site, including phrases like “two community swimming pool,” “The inviting lap pool is only yards away,” “Enjoy additional features of two swimming pools,” and “access to two community pools.” At least 10 of 20 listings explicitly reference the pools, and all 20/20 MLS records have a pool amenity checked, indicating well-established, building-wide pool facilities rather than an agent checkbox error.
No analysis available
Searched for 'salt water pool', 'saltwater pool', 'salt pool', and 'saline pool' in conjunction with the pool descriptions. While the presence of standard pools is clear, there is no indication they are saltwater.
Multiple listings in this building explicitly state that units have their own washer/dryer, using phrases like 'relocated washer dryer', 'stacking washer and dryer are tucked away but easily accessed', 'full sized washer/dryer', 'washer/dryer in unit', and 'in-unit laundry'. Combined with 17 out of 20 current MLS entries marking washer/dryer in inclusions, the evidence strongly supports that some units in this complex offer in-unit laundry. Because several different agents and unit configurations mention it with specific layout details, this is highly likely to be a real and commonly available feature in the building.
No analysis available
Checked for terms such as 'coin-op', 'coin laundry', 'card-operated laundry', 'laundry fee', or 'paid laundry'. All references are to private in-unit washers/dryers, with no indication of paid common laundry facilities.
Searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor', 'community laundry', and 'laundry room on every floor'. All laundry references are to in-unit machines in these townhomes, with no indication of communal or per-floor laundry rooms.
All 20 current listings are flagged with parking in MLS, and none show 'no parking'. Numerous remarks describe an on-site parking lot ('newly paved & striped stalls of the parking lot') and unit-specific stalls ('two parking stalls', 'parking stall just steps from the front door'), indicating that the building clearly provides parking for residents. There is no evidence suggesting any units lack access to building parking.
Across the remarks, at least 10 listings explicitly mention assigned or reserved parking (e.g., 'assigned parking stall is located right at your doorstep', 'one assigned parking stall closest to the unit', 'designated parking stall', '1 reserved parking'), and others refer to 'its parking stall' adjacent to the unit. Combined with 18/20 MLS records showing ASSIGN, this provides strong, multi-agent evidence that parking is assigned/deeded to units in this complex.
No analysis available
Multiple listings mention features like 'one assigned parking stall', 'reserved parking', or 'parking stall just steps from the front door'. Since there is no explicit statement that parking is deeded or owned as part of the unit, this is set to false with moderate uncertainty.
No analysis available
Listings describe the presence and proximity of parking stalls but never mention paying extra monthly for parking. Without explicit pricing information, the monthly parking fee cannot be determined.

Remarks repeatedly mention that units come with an assigned or reserved stall and do not reference any waiting list system. In the absence of any mention of a waitlist, this is assumed not to exist with moderate uncertainty.

Checked for terms such as 'key card access', 'fob access', 'card reader', 'electronic entry', and 'secured entry doors'. The listings focus on parking, location, and unit upgrades, with no reference to card/fob-based security.
No analysis available
Searched for 'security patrol', 'roving security', '24-hour security', and 'patrolled building/grounds'. The remarks do not mention any form of on-site security patrol service for the complex.

Double wall construction is reported in 15 of 20 current MLS listings through the DOUWAL code, a high proportion across multiple agents and units. Public remarks do not explicitly mention wall construction but also do not conflict with this information. The consistency across most listings makes this a high-confidence building feature.
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.

Searched for explicit permission or prohibition of short-term or vacation rentals and found no relevant language. Given the purely residential, townhome-style descriptions and no STR terms, short-term rentals are treated as not allowed by default with moderate uncertainty.
Listings emphasize a community of townhomes with residential amenities and make no mention of hotel operations or a hotel-managed rental pool. Combined with str_allowed being false, this supports a reasonably confident conclusion that no hotel pool program exists.
Searched for terms like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or similar requirements and found none. Since there is no evidence of any hotel pool at all—and certainly not a mandatory one—this is set to false with moderately high confidence.

Searched for phrases like 'leasehold', 'land lease', 'lease expires', and specific years tied to lease expiry but found nothing. The tenure type and any lease expiration year remain unknown from the provided information.
Reviewed all remarks for indicators of VA loan approval or acceptance and found none. Without explicit language, we cannot confirm VA approval, so this is marked as not VA-approved by default with moderate uncertainty.
The only insurance-related comment specifies 100% hurricane insurance, which is hazard-specific and does not confirm comprehensive or walls-in HOA coverage. Because full/walls-in coverage is never explicitly stated, the building cannot be marked as fully insured based on these remarks.
No analysis available
Searched for phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation', 'FLSE', 'fire inspection', and 'life safety compliant' and found none. In the absence of any reference, the building is assumed not documented as having passed a formal fire/life safety evaluation in the available remarks.

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.

Across the current dataset, 18 out of 20 listings have the resident manager amenity (RESMAN) selected in MLS, indicating a likely on-site/building manager for the complex. None of the remarks explicitly mention or contradict a resident manager, but the consistency across many listings points to a genuine building feature rather than a one-off copy/paste mistake.
