A typical Saturday for 311 — 3,400 requests filed across LA
Angelenos filed 3,400 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, up 3% against a typical Saturday (median of the last 8 Saturdays: 3,306). We compare like weekdays with like — a raw week-over-week number would mostly measure the weekend dip, not the news.
The city's loudest asks: Item Pickups (783), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (649), Graffiti Removal (572).
Busiest ZIP: 90006 with 221 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 65 requests.
The ground moved 31 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.2 4 km SW of Brawley, CA.
In the permit ledger (which the city publishes ~2 weeks in arrears), a recent standout: a $141,000,000 airport building permit in ZIP 90045. Total declared construction value in our 30-day window: $886,071,858.
By the numbers
311 yesterday: 3,400 · typical Saturday: 3,306 · Westwood: 65 · quakes 24h: 31 (max M2.2) · permit value 30d: $886,071,858Correction, September 18, 2026: the permit figure this edition labels “30-day window” / “permit value 30d” is the declared value of every permit on our record when it was written (issued since May 7, 2026) — not a 30-day total. The label was accurate in early June and drifted as the record grew. Editions from September 19 print a true 30-day figure with its dates. Archived text is left as published.
