311 requests down 10% vs a typical Sunday — 3,421 filed across LA
Angelenos filed 3,421 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 10% against a typical Sunday (median of the last 8 Sundays: 3,818). 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 (1,152), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (933), Graffiti Removal (322).
Busiest ZIP: Sylmar (91342) with 101 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 71 requests.
The ground moved 37 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.5 1 km E of Loma Linda, 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.
