IkenaAI
Property Brief · for Hawaii homeowners

Know what's happening to your property — without checking it.

A monthly intelligence brief on every parcel you own. Permits pulled by neighbors, ownership flips, sub-class changes, abnormal lot activity — and a quiet "all clear" when nothing happened. Built on the same property graph that powers the Ikena Group pre-quote workflow.

What lands in your inbox

One email a month. Plus an alert in between if something material happens — a permit pulled within 200 ft, a TMK ownership change, an enforcement action filed.

Permits in your radius

Every building, electrical, plumbing, demolition, or grading permit pulled within 200 ft of your TMK. So construction next door isn't a Tuesday-morning surprise.

Ownership & assessment

Ownership-name changes on your parcel, lot-class flips (R-5 → A-1, etc.), and assessment shifts that suggest a re-appraisal. Quiet signals before they bite.

Building footprint changes

Statewide footprint diffing — when an outbuilding appears next door, when a structure on your parcel disappears from the assessor's tax roll.

Quiet-month confirmation

Even when nothing happens, you get the brief. "30 days, no permits, no ownership changes, no flagged activity." That's the whole point.

Multi-island, all parcels

Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai. One subscription per parcel — bundle a primary, a vacation cottage, an ag lot, all under one account.

Reply-to-investigate

Reply to any brief with a question and a real human (often me) digs in. You're not arguing with a bot.

  1. Watch the parking-ratio variance hearing on May 14 — if approved, it sets precedent for adjacent parcels and could affect resale comps within 800 ft.
  2. If a coastal expansion is on your roadmap, file SMA pre-consultation paperwork before May 31 — feedback window for the new boundary draft closes then.
  3. No action required on the adjacent fit-out and sign permits. Both are routine.
