Angelenos filed 3,089 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 18% against a typical Sunday (median of the last 8 Sundays: 3,788). 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: Item Pickups (652), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (636), Information-Only (389).

Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 459 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 44 requests.

The ground moved 24 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.3 5 km NNE 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.
