Angelenos filed 8,243 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 7% against a typical Tuesday (median of the last 8 Tuesdays: 8,847). 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 (2,177), Item Pickups (1,730), Illegal Dumping Item Pickup (1,689).

Busiest ZIP: Central-Alameda (90011) with 265 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 166 requests.

The ground moved 26 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M1.6 3 km SE of Home Gardens, 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.
