MARLBOROUGH – The former Registry of Motor Vehicles building on Maple Street will soon be demolished.

Bourgeois Wrecking & Excavation pulled a permit to demolish the building on Wednesday, Sept. 25, according to city records.

Built in 1960, the building served as a Registry of Motor Vehicles site until 2011, when it was purchased by the Robert Arcieri Trust. The current owners, Mina Property Group, bought the site in 2021.

The site had been cleaned up, and the windows boarded up, following citations from the city for “recurring violations,” including overgrown vegetation and broken windows.

The boards have since been removed.

According to Building Inspector Tin Htway, work is being done to clean out the interior. He said that the owners intend to expand their auto dealership, which is next door, to the site.
