A typical Sunday for 311 — 3,748 requests filed across LA

Angelenos filed 3,748 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 5% against a typical Sunday (median of the last 8 Sundays: 3,940). 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 (1,142), Item Pickups (1,023), Graffiti Removal (455).

Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 149 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 48 requests.

The ground moved 35 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.2 21 km N of Kernville, 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.
