8-14 Ross Aly, San Francisco, CA 94108

The three-story multi-family residential building at 8-14 Ross Alley, built in 1906, is currently owned by the Chinese Christian Mission I and contains 10 units. The property has undergone several significant modifications, with major work completed in 1999 including the installation of two ADA-compliant restrooms, a ramp, and HVAC systems, along with kitchen cabinet replacements and plumbing fixture updates. Building inspections in 2002 and 2005 revealed multiple fire safety issues that were subsequently addressed, including problems with fire escapes, fire extinguishers, smoke enclosure doors, and fire proofing materials.

A fire violation was also noted in 2022 regarding non-compliance with the San Francisco Fire Code, though this was abated. Recent building history shows consistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding graffiti removal, with multiple incidents documented between 2016 and 2020. Fire safety appears to be an ongoing focus, with a 2024 alarm systems inspection resulting in no merit but a 2022 compliance statement violation.

The building experienced sewage issues in 2020 and has had occasional reports of waste on surrounding sidewalks, though these appear to be external to the building itself. A recent parking enforcement case was documented in 2022, and there was an animal rescue incident noted, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property has maintained compliance with most building codes following the resolution of past violations, though the need for periodic inspections and maintenance is evident from the historical record.
