90
Score
Paulie Gee's Logan Square appears in inspection records 21 times, starting in 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on May 9, 2025. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.
Looking across the full record, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the recurring theme, flagged 16 times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
