Angelenos filed 6,527 MyLA311 service requests yesterday, down 13% against a typical Thursday (median of the last 8 Thursdays: 7,501). We compare like weekdays with like — a raw week-over-week number would mostly measure the weekend dip, not the news.

Busiest ZIP: Pacoima (91331) with 209 requests. Around Westwood (90024/90025), neighbors filed 104 requests.

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.
