Definitely contact the landowner... It worked for us with a problem next door renter.... Landlord was oblivious to the conditions!
You may need to contact more than once... & doesn`t hurt to spread the contact info to your other neighbors... the squeaky wheel theory!
You can get that info from the HI Cty Tax Office website:

If the occupancy is not to code.... & the landowner does nothing.... definitely contact the planning dept... & spread THAT info to your neighbors...
ETA: Most likely, if there is elec. to the property... the HELCO may not be aware of the "not to building code" living structure as well.... Power can become much more pricey! this may not be the case here, as there is a generator... but for anyone else...
ALSO: If the landowner is not on island, state law REQUIRES an on-island property manager to rent property... so there may also be that to squeak about!
