Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 675 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 39 requests.

By the numbers
311 yesterday: 3,670 · typical Saturday: 2,986 · Westwood: 39 · quakes 24h: 17 (max M3.2) · 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.
