What lights cost on the usual Malden house

Malden is split almost evenly: 31% one-unit, 34% two-to-four-unit (2-unit 21%, 3-4 unit 12%) and 35% in 5+ unit buildings, with only 41% owner-occupied and a median build year of 1950. Two- and three-family houses on small lots are the main house type for lighting jobs; neighborhood names (Faulkner, Linden, Edgeworth) were not source-verified.

    Mayor Gary Christenson and two city councillors invited members of the public to Fellsmere Pond on Saturday, November 26, 2022 (Savin Street side) at 5 PM for the lighting of the holiday tree.

    A City post dated November 30, 2023 described the annual lighting of the Fellsmere Pond Christmas Tree, with music by the Malden High School Choral Art Society, cookies, hot chocolate and a visit from Santa.

  3. Dec. 2024older notice

Historic districts under study

Malden's Local Historic District Study Committee is charged with reporting on the historic significance of buildings in proposed local historic districts in the downtown and Corey Road areas.

The Committee page lists a Preliminary Study Report for the Corey Road District. We found no posted rule on seasonal exterior lighting, so ask the City before hanging anything permanent in those areas.

Fire department advice on extension cords

A City of Malden fire notice quotes the chief saying that if you must use an extension cord outside, be sure it is rated for outdoor use and keep it away from water, snow and ice.

The Malden fire prevention brochure says not to overload electrical circuits.

A Malden Fire Department fire prevention brochure advises against running cords under rugs or furniture and says to check for worn wires.

Install-day parking and the winter rule

After the first significant snowfall of the season, Malden restricts parking to one side of the street, and once enacted that stays in place 24/7 until April 1st.

For the 2025/2026 winter season, the general rule was parking on the odd side only, with some exceptions. By the city's year rule, winter 2026-27 is the even side. The City begins towing and ticketing cars on designated main arteries at the start of a declared snow emergency.

Christmas tree pickup

Malden's City page said real Christmas trees will be collected during the week of January 12.

A tree put out ahead of that week is not picked up. Remove all tinsel, lights, decorations, tree stands and plastic bags.

Malden has not posted next season's pickup week yet. Check the City page.
