Angelenos filed 8,756 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 0% against a typical Wednesday (median of the last 8 Wednesdays: 8,776). 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: Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (2,153), Information-Only (1,930), Item Pickups (1,736).
Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 304 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 157 requests.
The ground moved 61 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M3.1 20 km ESE of Anza, CA.
