Angelenos filed 8,100 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 4% against a typical Tuesday (median of the last 8 Tuesdays: 8,439). 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: Information-Only (2,379), Item Pickups (1,772), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,722).
Busiest ZIP: 90015 with 328 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 147 requests.
The ground moved 34 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.3 10 km N of Borrego Springs, CA.
In the permit ledger (which the city publishes ~2 weeks in arrears), a recent standout: a $12,500,000 apartment permit in ZIP 90029. Total declared construction value in our 30-day window: $1,249,361,161.
By the numbers
311 yesterday: 8,100 · typical Tuesday: 8,439 · Westwood: 147 · quakes 24h: 34 (max M2.3) · permit value 30d: $1,249,361,161Correction, 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.
