311 requests up 31% vs a typical Friday — 7,899 filed across LA

Angelenos filed 7,899 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, up 31% 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. One caveat: 1,400 of those (18%) arrived through the city's “(none)” channel — a channel the city files through itself, not residents asking for help — at 467× that channel's typical day, so the headline number is partly a paperwork batch, not resident demand.

The city's loudest asks: Information-Only (2,012), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,086), Item Pickups (942).

Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 338 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 183 requests.

The ground moved 16 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.7 4 km NE of Temecula, 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.
