MARLBOROUGH – The one-time home of a Registry of Motor Vehicles office at 525 Maple St. has been cleaned up, following a citation issued by the city.
After a site inspection on June 17, the city found “recurring violations” of the city code, including overgrown vegetation and broken windows. A citation was issued to the property owner, Mina Property Group LLC, to clean up the site, or face penalties for noncompliance.
Most of the windows at the site have since been boarded up, and the vegetation was removed.

This was not the first time the property was subject to a citation. In 2022, Mina Property Group was cited for parking vehicles on site without a site plan or permission.
Built in 1960, the site has been assessed for $337,700, according to city records – $270,000 for the land, $67,700 for the building.
The site was purchased by Mina Property Group in 2021 from the Robert Arcieri Trust, which had purchased the site from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2011.
The property group has several adjoining properties along Maple Street, including an auto dealership and a parking lot.
The Community Advocate has reached out to Mina Property Group for comment.
