Score
Going back to 2023, The Southern on 8 has 16 inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated May 7, 2026. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around 11 violations to closer to 15 violations per visit.
Looking across the full record, “accumulation of black/green mold-like substance” is the recurring theme, flagged nine times.
The city-wide average sits at 67, which The Southern on 8's 5 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
