311 requests down 5% vs a typical Sunday — 3,640 filed across LA
Angelenos filed 3,640 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 5% against a typical Sunday (median of the last 8 Sundays: 3,836). 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: Item Pickups (1,119), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,012), Information-Only (349).
Busiest ZIP: Sylmar (91342) with 103 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 58 requests.
The ground moved 23 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.5 33 km WNW of Desert Center, 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.
