A typical Friday for 311 — 5,877 requests filed across LA
Angelenos filed 5,877 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 2% against a typical Friday (median of the last 8 Fridays: 6,007). 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 (1,786), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,002), Item Pickups (989).
Busiest ZIP: Downtown LA (South Park) (90015) with 191 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 105 requests.
The ground moved 47 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.4 13 km W of Imperial, CA.
In the permit ledger (which the city publishes ~2 weeks in arrears), a recent standout: a $1,966,896,355 airport building permit in Westchester (90045). Total declared construction value in our 30-day window: $4,320,633,495.
