311 requests down 5% vs a typical Wednesday — 8,630 filed across LA
Angelenos filed 8,630 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 5% against a typical Wednesday (median of the last 8 Wednesdays: 9,094). 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: Information-Only (2,121), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,737), Item Pickups (1,675).
Busiest ZIP: Downtown LA / Chinatown (90012) with 273 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 155 requests.
The ground moved 76 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M3.2 17 km WSW of Johannesburg, CA.
In the permit ledger (which the city publishes weekly — on Tuesdays, through the previous Saturday), a recent standout: a $10,000,000 apartment permit in Van Nuys (91411). Declared construction value of all permits issued in the latest 30 days on record (Aug 21–Sep 19): $2,558,272,203.
