The Hoʻopili Neighborhood Watch is an independent group, organized by homeowners that communicate regularly on security and safety concerns in our neighborhood. If you would like to join the watch, please sign up HERE.

Public roads fall under the jurisdiction of the City & County of Honolulu. Please contact HPD. If you see an illegally parked vehicle in a condominium association, please contact the property manager in charge of that comndominium association.

Please use the following link to report abandoned vehicles to HPD: Abandoned Vehicle Complaints (honolulu.gov). For vehicles abandoned on private roads or parking lots, please contact the association property manager.

Illegal fireworks are a state-wide issue and very difficult to control. Please contact HPD if you have concerns regarding illegal fireworks. HPD has informed us that they may need to catch individuals “in the act” in order to take action.

The "planting strip" is a landscaped strip between a sidewalk and a roadway.  Trees within the planting strip are referred to as "Street Trees." Street Trees are required by City and County of Honolulu regulations.   If Street Trees are not maintained, the City and County of Honolulu can decline to accept the dedication of roadways, which will result in increased costs to the Hoʻopili Community Association and its members.  To reduce the overall cost of home ownership in Hoʻopili, extensive planning has been put into allocating responsibility for planting strip areas and Street Trees fairly and equitably.

Owners of single-family homes not within a condominium association are required to maintain landscaping in planting strips in front of or adjacent to their home along "internal" roadways.

• An "internal" road provides direct access within a community. (Other roads, referred to as "backbone" roads, and their planting strips and Street Trees, are maintained by HCA – even if a home abuts the backbone road.)

• Maintenance of planting strips that is required by Owners includes (i) properly and regularly watering and trimming grass; and (ii) properly and regularly watering Street Trees.

• Owners should not trim, prune, treat, replant or replace any Street Tree. If pruning, trimming, treatment, replanting, or replacement of a Street Tree is necessary, the Owner should inform the applicable condominium association, if one exists, or otherwise, the Master Association.

• Individual Owners will be assessed the cost to replace Street Trees for which they are responsible, except in unique circumstances.

For owners of homes within a condominium association, the condominium association will likely maintain the planting strips and Street Trees along internal roads - check your community documents.
