Angelenos filed 7,534 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 12% against a typical Wednesday (median of the last 8 Wednesdays: 8,547). We compare like weekdays with like — a raw week-over-week number would mostly measure the weekend dip, not the news.

Busiest ZIP: Hancock Park / Koreatown (90004) with 189 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 116 requests.

The ground moved 20 times in Southern California over the last day; the largest was a M2.4 11 km NE of Kernville, 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.
