Angelenos filed 8,333 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, up 2% against a typical Tuesday (median of the last 8 Tuesdays: 8,154). 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 (2,104), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,932), Item Pickups (1,847).
Busiest ZIP: Downtown LA (South Park) (90015) with 322 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 212 requests.
The ground moved 35 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.2 19 km NW of Progreso, B.C., MX.
In the permit ledger (which the city publishes ~2 weeks in arrears), a recent standout: a $60,000,000 joint living and working quarters permit in Downtown LA (Bunker Hill) (90071). Total declared construction value in our 30-day window: $4,579,702,907.
By the numbers
311 yesterday: 8,333 · typical Tuesday: 8,154 · Westwood: 212 · quakes 24h: 35 (max M2.2) · permit value 30d: $4,579,702,907Correction, 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.
