311 requests up 27% vs a typical Thursday — 9,458 filed across LA

Angelenos filed 9,458 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, up 27% against a typical Thursday (median of the last 8 Thursdays: 7,428). We compare like weekdays with like — a raw week-over-week number would mostly measure the weekend dip, not the news. One caveat: 1,959 of those (21%) arrived through the city's “Driver Self Reported” channel — city crews logging their own work orders, not residents asking for help — at 9× that channel's typical day, so the headline number is partly a paperwork batch, not resident demand.

The city's loudest asks: Graffiti Removal (2,435), Information-Only (1,904), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,762).

Busiest ZIP: Palms (90034) with 329 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 250 requests.

The ground moved 29 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M1.9 25 km SSW of Solvang, CA.

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.
