311 requests down 10% vs a typical Tuesday — 8,022 filed across LA
Angelenos filed 8,022 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 10% against a typical Tuesday (median of the last 8 Tuesdays: 8,888). We compare like weekdays with like — a raw week-over-week number would mostly measure the weekend dip, not the news. Yesterday was the first workday after Indigenous Peoples Day, a City of Los Angeles holiday; the comparison above is against ordinary, non-holiday weeks.
The city's loudest asks: Information-Only (2,009), Item Pickups (1,665), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,640).
Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 247 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 216 requests.
The ground moved 31 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.4 13 km NNW of Borrego Springs, CA.
In the permit ledger (which the city publishes weekly — on Tuesdays, through the previous Saturday), a recent standout: a $10,000,000 special care home permit in Hancock Park / Koreatown (90004). Declared construction value of all permits issued in the latest 30 days on record (Sep 11–Oct 10): $414,654,938.
