A typical Sunday for 311 — 3,784 requests filed across LA
Angelenos filed 3,784 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 2% against a typical Sunday (median of the last 8 Sundays: 3,842). 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 (1,142), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,060), Graffiti Removal (442).
Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 217 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 53 requests.
The ground moved 42 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.8 6 km SE of Ontario, CA.
In the permit ledger (which the city publishes ~2 weeks in arrears), a recent standout: a $3,498,500 shoring (temporary) permit in Pacoima (91331). Total declared construction value in our 30-day window: $1,931,285,907.
