A typical Friday for 311 — 6,472 requests filed across LA
Angelenos filed 6,472 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, up 4% against a typical Friday (median of the last 8 Fridays: 6,250). 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 (1,724), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,021), Item Pickups (933).
Busiest ZIP: Westlake / MacArthur Park (90057) with 372 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 102 requests.
The ground moved 27 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.3 5 km W of Malibu, 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.
