A typical Thursday for 311 — 7,567 requests filed across LA
Angelenos filed 7,567 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 2% against a typical Thursday (median of the last 8 Thursdays: 7,743). 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 (1,963), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,557), Item Pickups (1,410).
Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 294 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 122 requests.
The ground moved 42 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M1.7 7 km WSW of Holtville, 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.
