A typical Friday for 311 — 6,418 requests filed across LA
Angelenos filed 6,418 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 0% against a typical Friday (median of the last 8 Fridays: 6,434). 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 (1,864), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,247), Item Pickups (892).
Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 390 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 98 requests.
The ground moved 46 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.1 21 km N of Searles Valley, 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.
