A typical Thursday for 311 — 7,432 requests filed across LA
Angelenos filed 7,432 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 4% against a typical Thursday (median of the last 8 Thursdays: 7,756). 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 (1,773), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,664), Item Pickups (1,391).
Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 240 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 131 requests.
The ground moved 42 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.0 22 km ESE of Anza, CA.
In the permit ledger (which the city publishes weekly — on Tuesdays, through the previous Saturday), a recent standout: a $19,500,000 office permit in Downtown LA (South Park) (90015). Declared construction value of all permits issued in the latest 30 days on record (Aug 28–Sep 26): $578,574,463.
