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

The ground moved 17 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M3.2 4 km SSE of Compton, 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.
