311 requests down 11% vs a typical Saturday — 3,135 filed across LA
Angelenos filed 3,135 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 11% against a typical Saturday (median of the last 8 Saturdays: 3,512). 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 (725), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (594), Information-Only (488).
Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 93 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 62 requests.
The ground moved 39 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.3 19 km ESE of Anza, 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.
