House Painting for Malden homes.
Malden's storm drain ordinance lists paints, varnishes and solvents as pollutants, and pavement that drains to a catch basin counts too. We clean tools where nothing runs toward the street.
Swapping trim or siding on a house that shows up in the city's historic surveys can need a permit routed through the Historical Commission. Before we quote exterior work on an older Malden facade, we look the address up.
Malden rules that matter for house painting.
Equipment hours: weekdays 7 to 5
Malden's noise ordinance lets construction crews run mechanical or motorized equipment on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday work in those hours is allowed only if it doesn't create excessive noise. [1]
Historical Commission review of exterior alterations
A building permit for an exterior alteration on a house that is listed on, or eligible for, the National Register, or that appears in a survey on file with the state, goes to the Malden Historical Commission first. Interior renovations are excluded. The Commission has 14 days to decide whether the building is significant, and a building it votes to preserve can face a delay of up to twelve months. [1][2]
Paint and debris stay out of storm drains
Malden's storm drainage ordinance bars dumping paints, varnishes, solvents and construction waste into the storm drain system or onto pavement that drains to it. [1]
