Council grants multiple motor-vehicle repair and garage license petitions
Summary
The council granted several petitions for motor vehicle repair and garage licenses — including petitions for 772 North Main, 642 Main (owner Marwan Al Zaila present), and a transfer for Alba Group/Sonny's Auto — with no public opposition recorded.
The Brockton City Council granted several petitions for motor-vehicle repair and garage licenses during the hearing portion of the meeting.
Petitioners for 772 North Main Street and 642 Main Street were called forward; no speakers registered in favor or opposition to the 772 North Main petition and the council granted it by voice. For 642 Main Street, the owner, Marwan Al Zaila, introduced himself: "My name is Marwan Al Zaila, owner of 642 Main Street. So I'm here for the garage license." Councilor DeCastro asked whether he had a repair license, which Mr. Al Zaila confirmed, and the council voted by hand to grant that petition as well.
The council also approved a transfer for Alba Group LLC (Sonny's Auto Center). Attorney Alex Avedisian described the transfer as keeping existing hours and operations unchanged: "We're not asking for any changes of, hours or operation or anything like that. It's just a simple transfer..." There was no public opposition and the council granted the transfer by hand vote.
Why it matters: Licensing decisions affect local businesses' ability to operate and comply with zoning and safety rules. Council approvals followed standard hearing procedures with petitioners present and no recorded public objections.
Next steps: The council chair declared the petitions granted and administrative steps (filing with the city clerk and issuance of licenses) will follow.
