Malden rules that matter for kitchen & bath remodeling.
Street and sidewalk obstruction permit
Anything placed on a Malden street or sidewalk, a dumpster included, needs a permit from the Public Works Commission plus a bond or liability policy. The Police Chief decides whether a paid police detail has to be on site.
[1]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.
