Angelenos filed 3,156 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 10% 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.

Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 216 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 54 requests.
