Appeal information in public record, a big deal or not?

I am closing on a condo in Hawaii. My first real estate purchase. The seller initially left the first question on the seller disclosure blank

"Are there any violations of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions covering the property?"

This was initially left blank. The seller's agent said that there were no violations and the seller (who is 90) had forgotten. I insisted the question be answered by the seller and they answered that there were no violations. In checking the public records I found the following

Which seems to indicate 2 appeals occurred. The home inspection report didn't show any serious issues. One kitchen exhaust vent was blocked, but no major problems.

I have asked my agent to get more information. Is this something to be worried about?
