Angelenos filed 8,462 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 4% against a typical Monday (median of the last 8 Mondays: 8,825). 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 (2,196), Information-Only (2,104), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (2,056).

Busiest ZIP: Downtown LA (South Park) (90015) with 280 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 119 requests.

The ground moved 31 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.5 25 km WNW of Inyokern, CA.

In the permit ledger (which the city publishes ~2 weeks in arrears), a recent standout: a $46,507,997 apartment permit in Canoga Park / West Hills (91304). Total declared construction value in our 30-day window: $1,864,483,639.
