License committee recommends and council grants multiple Class 2 auto, livery and extended‑hours petitions
Summary
The License Committee reported unanimous favorable recommendations for a set of renewals and petitions (papers 490‑493 of 2024 and 5‑12 of 2025). The full council voted to grant the petitions, including multiple Class 2 auto dealer renewals, a change to extended hours for a laundry business and approvals for livery company and driver renewals.
The Malden City Council granted a slate of licensing petitions after receiving a favorable committee report from the License Committee. Councilor Seacaf (chair of the License Committee) reported the committee had reviewed the matters and found no issues.
The petitions granted by the council (motion to grant petitions moved by Councilor Seacaf and seconded by Councilor Colon Hayes) included: Class 2 used‑car license renewals and counts — AGM Auto Sales Inc., 160 Eastern Ave (21 cars) (Paper 490‑24); Uni Auto Sales Inc., 369 Salem St (8 cars) (Paper 491‑24); Maxima Auto Sales, 277 Broadway (66 cars) (Paper 492‑24); Maxima Auto Sales Corp., 105 Broadway (35 cars) (Paper 493‑24); Auto Bazaar Corp., 17 Charles St (12 cars) (Paper 5‑25); Broadway Auto Sales, 628 Broadway (0 cars) (Paper 6‑25); Next Level Motors Inc., 189 Eastern Ave (35 cars) (Paper 7‑25); Nick's Foreign Car Center LLC, 121 Beach St (4 cars) (Paper 8‑25); Prestige Motors of Malden Inc., 600 Broadway (37 cars) (Paper 9‑25). The council also approved a change to extended hours for Williams Services LLC DBA Laundry Plus, 705 Eastern Ave (24/7 operation) (Paper 10‑25), and approved livery company renewal for Xing Zai Tea Service LLC, 15 Burge Place (1 vehicle) (Paper 11‑25) and livery driver renewal for Shiseng Lang, 15 Burge Place (Paper 12‑25).
The council approved the petitions by roll call with unanimous affirmative votes recorded by the clerk.
Why this matters: The decisions are routine renewals and a single extended‑hours change; they keep local business operations in compliance with city licensing rules. The extended‑hours petition will change the operating hours for a laundry business to seven days a week, 24 hours per day.
Speakers: Councilor Seacaf (License Committee chair reporting), Councilor Colon Hayes (second on the grant motion), clerk recorded roll call votes.
Next steps: The clerk and licensing office will issue renewed licenses and update public records.
