Waikiki Lanais
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 searched for explicit owner-occupancy statements such as "80% owner occupied" or "majority owner occupied" and found none. Per the rules, the existing numeric value of 34.00 is retained because there is no remark-based evidence to change it.
I searched the remarks for explicit counts such as "two elevators," "4 elevators," or "multiple elevators" and found none. The comments only confirm that the building has elevator access, so the current value of 2 is kept with low confidence.

Strong, repeated evidence across the building. Current MLS data shows 18 of 20 listings with CABTV, and multiple remarks state things like “maintenance fee includes cable TV,” “all utilities — including electricity, water, and cable,” and “HOA fee covers ... basic cable.” This looks consistent across many agents rather than a one-off copy-paste issue.
Consistent evidence: 15 of 20 MLS entries include OTCOEX and multiple public remarks explicitly note common area items or common area electricity are included in HOA/maintenance fees. Language is repeated across listings, indicating building-level inclusion.
No analysis available
Very strong evidence that electricity is covered. Current MLS data has ELECTR in 18 of 20 listings, and numerous remarks say “all utilities: electricity...” or “maintenance fee includes electricity.” The consistency across listings makes this highly reliable.
Solid evidence: 14 of 20 MLS entries include GAS and many public remarks explicitly mention gas is covered by maintenance fees ('maintenance fee covers electricity, gas, water, sewer'). The mentions appear across multiple listings and agents.
Strong evidence that hot water is included in the fee. Current MLS data shows HOTWAT in 17 of 20 listings, and several remarks explicitly say “hot water” or “(hot) water” is included in maintenance fees. No listings show WTRHTR, so there is no contradictory sign of unit-level water heaters.
Internet inclusion is well supported. Current MLS data has INTSER in 17 of 20 listings, and multiple remarks mention “internet included,” “wifi,” or “maintenance fee includes ... internet.” The pattern is consistent across many agents and listing descriptions.
No analysis available
Sewer coverage appears to be a standard building expense. Current MLS data shows SEWER in 18 of 20 listings, and many remarks say maintenance fees cover sewer or “all utilities.” This is a strong, repeated signal across the listing set.
Water inclusion is highly consistent. Current MLS data shows WATER in 18 of 20 listings, and remarks frequently mention “water included,” “all utilities,” or “hot & cold water.” The evidence is strong and repeated across multiple listings.
Strong building-level evidence for shared BBQ amenities. Many listings reference rooftop grilling facilities, often with added detail like 'wet bar/BBQ,' 'BBQ grills,' or 'rooftop barbecue area,' which supports a real common amenity rather than a checkbox-only artifact. The pattern is consistent across multiple agents.

Minimal evidence: 3/20 MLS checkboxes list car wash but zero public remarks mention 'car wash', 'auto wash', or similar. Given no narrative corroboration and no prior confidence, this appears to be isolated checkbox usage by some agents rather than a clearly documented shared building facility.

Very strong, repeated evidence across the listings. Multiple remarks mention 'fitness center,' 'gym,' 'workout room,' or 'exercise room,' and the current MLS data is unanimous (20 of 20 listings). This does not look like a copy/paste error; it is consistently described by multiple agents.

The building clearly offers patio/deck-style outdoor spaces. Across the provided remarks, well over a dozen listings mention a rooftop deck/recreation deck, rooftop BBQ area, or large/private lanai; examples include "rooftop deck with wet bar/BBQ," "roof top grilling and entertainment space," and "expansive, oversized lanai." The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to be genuine building amenity reporting rather than a one-off agent copy-paste.

There is clear evidence of a shared recreation/amenity deck in the building. Roughly 8 listings explicitly mention a 'rooftop recreation deck,' 'rec deck,' or similar amenity deck language, and the remarks are consistent enough to support the feature. This appears to be a real common area available to residents.

Strong corroboration: 16 of 20 MLS listings have SAUNA checked and numerous remarks explicitly mention "sauna" (including "mens' and womens' saunas" and simple "sauna"). The amenity appears across multiple agent listings, indicating a building-level facility.
Confidence 78%: One remark notes 'an available storge unit' along with the condo, and a few MLS entries flag storage (STORAG/ADDLVSTORAG), suggesting some units have access to separate storage in the building.
The remarks contain a direct mention of surfboard storage, which is exactly the feature requested. I found no conflicting evidence.
No analysis available
The trash chute feature is strongly supported by MLS amenity data even though public remarks seldom call it out explicitly. With 19 of 20 current listings showing TRACHU, this looks like a stable building-level amenity rather than an agent copy/paste anomaly. Lack of remark mentions is not enough to override that evidence.

Strong, consistent evidence across listings: 17 of 20 MLS listings have whirlpool checked and many remarks directly reference 'jacuzzi', 'hot tub', or 'whirlpool' (e.g., 'hot tub', 'jacuzzi', 'whirlpool'). Multiple agents describe the shared spa amenity, supporting inclusion.
Strong, consistent evidence across the listings confirms Waikiki Lanais has a shared swimming pool. Pool is mentioned in many remarks across multiple agents, including phrases like "pool," "swimming pool," "rooftop pool & jacuzzi," and "pool on 6th floor," which aligns with the historical MLS amenities data showing 20/20 pool listings.
No analysis available
I searched for salt-related pool descriptions such as salt water pool or saline pool. The listings confirm a pool exists, but not that it is salt water.
No analysis available
Strong, consistent evidence that Waikiki Lanais has shared/community laundry facilities. The feature is explicitly mentioned in numerous current remarks across multiple listings, including "Laundry on the 5th floor," "on-site laundry facility," "large laundry room," "laundry facilities on each floor," and "Community Laundry." This appears to be a stable building amenity, not just a copy-paste checkbox.
I searched for terms indicating paid laundry such as coin-op, quarters, card-operated, or laundry fee. The remarks only describe the presence of laundry facilities, so there is no evidence that laundry is paid.
Multiple remarks explicitly say laundry is available on each floor, which directly matches the feature definition. I looked for wording like "laundry on each floor" and found a clear match.
No analysis available
Strong evidence that Waikiki Lanais offers assigned/reserved parking. Multiple listings explicitly mention "assigned," "reserved," or "designated" parking, and the feature appears across many remarks from different agents rather than a single copy-paste source.
Very strong evidence the building provides covered parking. This is confirmed in many listings and remarks, including explicit references to "covered stall," "garage parking stall," and "covered parking in a secured building," making the feature highly reliable.
At least one remark directly states the unit includes a deeded parking stall. Other listings reinforce that parking is assigned/reserved, supporting deeded parking ownership with high confidence.
No analysis available
I searched for parking fee language such as monthly parking charge, parking rental, or additional parking cost, but found none. The listings describe assigned, covered, or reserved stalls, but do not state any separate parking fee.
Guest parking is clearly available at Waikiki Lanais. Many remarks across different listings mention six guest stalls or guest parking, which is consistent enough to treat as a building-level feature rather than an isolated unit amenity.

I searched for references to a parking waitlist, waiting list, or instructions to join a parking list, but found nothing. With no evidence in the remarks, this remains unconfirmed and is treated as not indicated.
No analysis available
Several remarks explicitly mention fob/key fob access at entry points and elevators, which is direct evidence of card/fob security access. This is a strong match for the feature.
One listing explicitly notes a resident manager, staff, and "24x7 security," indicating on-site security personnel for the building. MLS amenities back this up, with 6 of 20 listings checking the security-guard field, and many separate remarks describing the property as a secure, fob-access building. Taken together, these independent agent descriptions support that Waikiki Lanais provides staffed security services.
I looked for direct mentions of security patrol, roving security, or patrol service. While patrol is not named verbatim, the remarks do describe 24x7 security and on-site staff, which supports a patrol/security presence.

High-confidence evidence that units have window/wall AC: 19 of 20 current MLS listings include the ACWIUN inclusion and multiple remarks across different listings explicitly state A/C (quotes: 'A/C in all bedrooms and the living space!', 'Full Kitchen, AC', 'Brand new A/C'). The mentions appear consistently across many agents and listings rather than isolated copy-paste, so the building should be reported as offering window AC.
Concrete construction is supported by the MLS record across all current listings: 20 of 20 list 'CONCRE' in construction_materials. The public remarks do not directly state the material, but they consistently describe Waikiki Lanais as a secured high-rise condo building, which aligns with the MLS data and suggests this is not a copied or isolated entry.
Weak / limited evidence: only 3 of 20 current MLS listings list DOUWAL in construction_materials and none of the public remarks mention 'double wall' or 'double-wall construction'. This could reflect a few agents checking the box or some units having it, but overall support is minimal.

Weak evidence for 'above ground' construction: only 3 of 20 current MLS listings have ABOGRO checked and none of the public remarks mention 'above ground' construction or materials. With no historical confirmation and no explicit remarks describing such construction, the checkbox entries appear inconsistent and may be agent copy/paste rather than a true building-level attribute.

The listings clearly indicate that rentals are allowed, but only with a minimum 30-day term. That means short-term rentals are not allowed, while longer-term rentals are permitted.
I searched for hotel rental pool, hotel program, managed-by-hotel language, or similar references and found none. Because the building is not marketed as an STR hotel operation, this is false.
I looked for language indicating mandatory participation in a rental pool, such as required enrollment or inability to opt out, and found none. Since there is no hotel pool program evidenced at all, mandatory participation is false.

Several listings identify the property as leasehold and give a specific lease expiration year of 2042. That is the most recent explicit expiry date mentioned, so 2042 is the correct value.
The public remarks repeatedly state the building is VA approved and even mention VA-assumable financing. This is strong direct evidence that VA financing is accepted for the building.
The remarks repeatedly indicate strong insurance coverage, including explicit claims of "Fully insured" and "100% hurricane insurance coverage." There is one conflicting remark, so the result is true but not at very high confidence; the remarks do not explicitly say "walls-in" coverage.
No analysis available
I looked for phrases like "fire life safety evaluation passed," "FLSE passed," "fire safety certified," and "passed fire inspection" and found no explicit references. With no public-remark evidence, this remains unconfirmed and is treated as false with low-to-moderate confidence.

Mountain views are well supported for this building. Across the remarks, at least 8 listings explicitly mention mountain-related views, including phrases like 'sweeping Mauka views,' 'Ko'olau mountain range,' and 'Diamond Head and mountain views.' The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, so this feature should be included.
Confidence 95%: Several remarks highlight 'panoramic views of Diamond Head', 'Diamond head views from every room', and 'Stunning Views of Diamond Head and Ocean' from units and common areas.
City views are strongly supported for this building. The current MLS data shows city views in 17 of 20 listings, and remarks repeatedly reference 'city views,' 'city lights,' and rooftop views of 'city, ocean, and mountains.' This appears to be a real building-level offering rather than a one-off agent mistake.
Confidence 95%: Multiple listings describe 'beautiful ocean views', views of 'Waikiki Beach', and 'sweeping ocean views' from the rooftop and high-floor units, which equate to coastline views.

Multiple listings (at least 8+) reference direct views of the Ala Wai Canal, such as 'Enjoy views of the Ala Wai Canal and Ala Wai golf course' and 'sweeping views of the golf course, Ala Wai canal.' The building is also described as being 'right on the Ala Wai Canal,' indicating canal/marina-style views are a consistent feature for many units. Combined with 3/20 MLS entries marked MARCAN and no 'NONE' view tags, this strongly supports including marina/canal view as a building feature.
No analysis available
Confidence 95%: One listing says the rooftop grilling and entertainment space 'affords sweeping ocean views for beautiful sunset dinners', implying sunset views over the ocean from the building.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit references to viewing fireworks from the building or units. The remarks mention many scenic views, but nothing about fireworks views.

Strong, repeated evidence confirms the building has a resident manager on site. Multiple listings explicitly say "Resident Manager on site," "on-site manager," "onsite resident manager," and "full-time resident manager," appearing across many different remarks rather than a single copy-paste source. Historical MLS amenities also showed RESMAN in 14 of 20 listings, aligning with the public remarks.
