A typical Monday for 311 — 8,565 requests filed across LA

Angelenos filed 8,565 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, up 1% against a typical Monday (median of the last 8 Mondays: 8,505). 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 (2,406), Item Pickups (1,931), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,767).

Busiest ZIP: Downtown LA (South Park) (90015) with 267 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 149 requests.

The ground moved 24 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.3 11 km NW of Parkfield, CA.

In the permit ledger (which the city publishes weekly — on Tuesdays, through the previous Saturday), a recent standout: a $8,200,000 apartment permit in Reseda (91335). Declared construction value of all permits issued in the latest 30 days on record (Sep 18–Oct 17): $417,267,917.
