Ward Kinau
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.

Searched all remarks for explicit owner-occupancy indicators (percentages or descriptors such as 'majority owner occupied' or 'highly owner occupied') and found none. With no current numeric value provided and no remarks evidence, the owner-occupancy percentage remains unknown.
Multiple listings mention elevator improvements (e.g., 'modernizing elevators', 'new elevators', 'updated elevator') and an 'elevator on the same parking level', confirming elevators exist, but no listing gives a specific number. Per rules, cannot infer or change a numeric value without an explicit number in the remarks.

11 of 18 current listings list OTCOEX (common area electric) in association_fee_includes. Public remarks reference many building amenities ("secured building", "rooftop deck", "community laundry") but do not explicitly say "common area electricity"; evidence appears partially from agent-entered MLS checkboxes and may reflect some copy/paste, so confidence is moderate.

14 of 18 current listings include HOTWAT in association_fee_includes and past summaries rated this High confidence. Remarks mention building re-piping and a full plumbing retrofit but do not state hot water is excluded; the MLS evidence across multiple listings is strong in favor of hot water being included.

15 of 18 current listings list SEWER in association_fee_includes and prior analysis rated sewer as High confidence. Public remarks do not dispute sewer inclusion; MLS checkbox consistency across many listings indicates strong evidence that sewer is included in the fees.
17 of 18 current listings include WATER in association_fee_includes and prior confidence was High. Remarks reference shared building services and upgrades but do not dispute water inclusion; the overwhelming MLS-level consistency indicates water is included in HOA/maintenance fees.
Strong evidence across many listings: at least a dozen remarks reference a shared rooftop BBQ or BBQ area (phrases include “rooftop BBQ area w/amazing city and ocean views,” “rooftop deck / rec area with BBQ,” and “rooftop BBQ and viewing deck”). Multiple agents consistently mention this common amenity, indicating a building-level shared BBQ facility.

Multiple unit remarks confirm building outdoor spaces: many listings reference private lanais ('spacious lanai', 'private lanai', 'newly epoxied lanai') and common amenities like a 'rooftop deck/rec area' and 'rooftop BBQ area with amazing city and ocean views'. At least 15 of the provided remarks explicitly mention a lanai, patio, or rooftop deck, so the building reliably offers patio/deck amenities.

One listing states that “the building provides a recreation deck, secure entry, and on-site laundry,” while another notes “a rooftop deck / rec area with BBQ and with a great view of the city.” Several other listings describe a “spacious rooftop deck” or “rooftop deck with breathtaking views,” indicating a common recreation/amenity deck accessible to residents. This consistent description across different listings supports a building-level recreation area.

Listings reference bike rack/storage areas but do not mention surfboard storage, board storage, or combined bike-and-surfboard storage. I searched for 'surfboard storage', 'board storage', and 'surf storage' and found no references.
No analysis available
Evidence is implied rather than explicit: 15 of 18 current MLS listings have the trash chute amenity box checked and historical confidence is Medium, however none of the provided public remarks use terms like “trash chute,” “garbage chute,” or “refuse chute.” The feature is likely present per MLS checkbox data but not confirmed in agent remarks.

There is no pool mentioned in the remarks and the building context lists pool=False. Because there is no pool, a salt pool cannot exist; therefore pool_salt is false with high confidence.
No analysis available
Strong evidence the building offers shared/community laundry: the MLS checkbox is set on all 18 current listings and multiple agent remarks explicitly state "community laundry", "common laundry room", "on-site laundry", and "renovated laundry room." Mentions appear across several different listings/remarks (consistent across agents), providing high confidence that a shared laundry facility exists.
Listings repeatedly reference community or on-site laundry but never indicate a payment system. I searched for 'coin laundry', 'coin-op', 'quarters', 'card operated', and similar phrases and found no references to paid laundry.
Multiple remarks reference a shared/community laundry or on-site laundry (e.g., 'community laundry', 'common laundry room is large'), but there is no language indicating laundry facilities on every floor. I searched for phrases like 'laundry on each floor' and 'laundry room on every floor' and found none.
Confidence 96%: Multiple remarks describe '1 assigned parking,' 'secured covered parking with gated entry and guest parking,' and MLS shows some form of parking in 6/7 listings.
Strong evidence across listings: 12 of 18 MLS entries list assigned parking and the remarks repeatedly state phrases like '1 assigned parking' and '1 assigned covered parking stall.' Multiple agents/remarks independently reference an assigned/reserved stall, indicating this building offers assigned parking.
Consistent evidence: 14 of 18 MLS entries indicate covered parking and the public remarks explicitly mention 'assigned covered parking stall' and 'secured covered parking space.' Multiple listings reference covered/garage-type stalls, supporting that the building provides covered parking.
Multiple listings state the unit includes an assigned/reserved covered parking stall, which in common public-remarks usage indicates deeded/owned parking associated with the unit. No language suggests temporary or monthly rental-only parking.
No analysis available
I searched for explicit phrases like 'monthly parking fee', 'parking charge', and 'parking rental'. The remarks describe assigned and covered stalls but do not state any ongoing parking fee, so the monthly parking fee cannot be determined from the remarks.
Clear, repeated mentions: 13 of 18 MLS entries list guest parking and the remarks frequently state 'guest parking stalls' and 'guest parking stalls available.' Multiple agent remarks corroborate that guest/visitor parking is available at the building.
Strong corroboration: 12 of 18 MLS entries indicate secured-entry parking and the remarks contain direct phrases like 'secured gated entry to the parking lot', 'gated parking, FOB entry', and 'key fob access,' indicating the parking area has controlled/secure access.

I searched for 'waitlist', 'waiting list', and similar terms. There is no mention of a parking waitlist system; descriptions focus on assigned stalls and guest parking, so absence suggests no waitlist but confidence is moderate due to lack of explicit denial.
No analysis available
Multiple listings explicitly reference electronic/card/fob access: examples include 'FOB entry', 'key fob access', and 'key fob entry' as well as 'key fob' and 'key fob access' references. This directly indicates the building has card/fob access security.
No analysis available
The remarks mention secured entry, gated parking, security cameras and a resident manager, but none reference a security patrol or roving security service. I searched for 'security patrol', 'patrol service', and 'roving security' with no hits.

At least one unit is explicitly described as having a "split AC unit" in the remarks, and ACSPL appears in 1/17 current MLS listings, likely corresponding to that unit. This demonstrates that the building allows or includes ductless mini-split AC in some units, which is relevant for buyers seeking this feature. No evidence suggests this was an error or has been removed.
Most MLS listings indicate window/unit AC (16 of 18 current listings checked ACWIUN and prior data showed 7/7). Public remarks repeatedly mention AC (e.g., "Includes... AC", "studio is equipped with a split AC unit") and explicitly state "new window a/c unit" in at least one remark, confirming that some units have window air conditioners. Evidence is strong across multiple listings and MLS entries, though some agent copy/paste likely occurs; nonetheless multiple independent remarks plus the widespread MLS inclusion support a high-confidence true.
Across the building's MLS history the construction_materials checkbox lists CONCRE in the majority of listings (15 of 18 current; 14 of 17 previously). Public remarks for these listings do not explicitly mention 'concrete' or 'reinforced concrete,' but the consistent agent-entered MLS data across many listings provides strong evidence the building is concrete-constructed rather than isolated copy-paste errors.

I searched for terms like 'short-term rental', 'vacation rental', 'STR', '30-day minimum', 'NUC', and 'TVU'. There is no explicit language permitting STRs; marketing references investment potential but not legal authorization for nightly rentals, so STR allowed is set to false with moderate confidence.
I looked for phrases such as 'hotel rental pool', 'managed by hotel', or references to hotel operations. None were found, and because short-term rentals are not indicated as allowed, hotel-pool participation is set to false.
I searched for explicit mandatory language like 'mandatory hotel pool', 'required to participate', or 'cannot opt out'. No such language appears in the remarks; absence of any hotel-pool references and no mandatory wording supports a high-confidence determination that mandatory pool participation is not required.

I searched for phrases like 'lease expires', 'land lease to', and specific years (e.g., 20xx). The remarks repeatedly state 'Fee Simple', and there is no reference to a leasehold or any lease expiry year, so no expiry year can be extracted.
Multiple remarks explicitly identify the building as VA approved, indicating VA financing is accepted. This direct language supports a high-confidence determination.
The remarks explicitly state the building is 'fully 100% insured for hurricane coverage', supporting that the HOA carries full building insurance (walls-in/hurricane coverage). This explicit language yields high confidence.
No analysis available
Searched remarks for exact phrases like 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', or 'passed fire inspection' and found none. While the building notes fire-system upgrades and installed fire alarms, there is no explicit claim that an FLSE was passed, so cannot mark as passed.
Flood zone determined from official FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) data using building coordinates, not from agent-reported listing data.

At least one upper-floor listing explicitly advertises 'ocean and mountain views' from the private lanai, confirming mountain-facing exposure exists in the building. This is supported by MLS data where 1 of 17 listings includes MOUNTA in view descriptions, so buyers seeking mountain views can find them here.
No analysis available
Multiple agent remarks repeatedly advertise city views — e.g., 'rooftop BBQ area w/amazing city and ocean views!' and 'amazing view of the city and coastline.' Historical MLS data shows 7 of 18 listings listing CITY in view_descriptions, and current remarks across different listings consistently reference city/downtown views, indicating the building offers city views.

One recent listing directly advertises 'beautiful sunsets from Ward Kinau,' and another describes 'beautiful westward views' from the covered lanai, clearly indicating sunset-oriented exposure in some units. With 2 out of 17 current MLS records now tagging SUNSET, there is solid multi-agent evidence that sunset views are available in this building.
No analysis available
The remarks describe city, ocean and mountain views and rooftop deck views but do not mention fireworks or watching fireworks from the building. I searched for phrases like 'fireworks view', 'watch fireworks from', and 'see fireworks from lanai' with no results.
No analysis available
High-confidence evidence that the building has a resident/on-site manager: 17 of 18 MLS listings have the RESMAN amenity checked, and multiple public remarks explicitly state phrases like "live-in manager," "on-site resident manager," and "resident manager." Mentions appear across several different listings and agents, indicating the feature is real rather than an isolated copy/paste error.
