A typical Thursday for 311 — 7,414 requests filed across LA
Angelenos filed 7,414 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 1% against a typical Thursday (median of the last 8 Thursdays: 7,501). 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 (2,049), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,482), Item Pickups (1,283).
Busiest ZIP: Pacoima (91331) with 252 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 115 requests.
The ground moved 19 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.4 4 km WSW of Yucaipa, 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.
