Angelenos filed 9,256 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, up 5% against a typical Tuesday (median of the last 8 Tuesdays: 8,850). 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 (2,068), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,933), Item Pickups (1,660).

Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 885 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 161 requests.

The ground moved 39 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.1 4 km N of Fontana, CA.

In the permit ledger (which the city publishes weekly — on Tuesdays, through the previous Saturday), a recent standout: a $7,500,000 office business or professional permit in Downtown LA (City West) (90017). Declared construction value of all permits issued in the latest 30 days on record (Sep 4–Oct 3): $377,911,659.
