One Contractor, Six Homes: Reinhardt Files Electrical Permits Across Framingham in 17 Days

In a span of just 17 days, one contractor secured six separate electrical permits across three distinct Framingham neighborhoods. James R. Reinhardt filed paperwork for work at 1001 Pleasant St, 42 Lake Ave, 52 Oakvale Rd, 17 Park Ave, 55 Jodie Rd, and 1 Millwood Cir.

This cluster of filings indicates a concentrated period of electrical upgrades or new installations for a single business entity operating throughout the city. Residents in South Framingham, North Framingham, and Millwood may see increased contractor activity as these projects move from the permit phase to the work phase.

The earliest filing occurred on February 10, 2026, at 55 Jodie Rd in South Framingham. A second permit for 1 Millwood Cir in the Millwood neighborhood was also approved that same day. By mid-February, the filing pace accelerated. On February 16, a permit was issued for 17 Park Ave. Two days later, on February 18, Reinhardt submitted applications for properties at 42 Lake Ave and 52 Oakvale Rd.

The most recent filing in this series dates to February 26, 2026, for the property at 1001 Pleasant St. All six records list the record type as BLDE, indicating a building permit classification for electrical work. Five of the six applications currently show a status of 1, while the permit at 55 Jodie Rd shows a status of 2.

While individual electrical permit filings are routine for any active contractor, the speed and geographic spread of this specific batch stand out. Reinhardt is operating simultaneously in the North Framingham area near Oakvale Rd and in the Millwood enclave, suggesting a regional workflow rather than a single-site project. This pattern mirrors other high-volume contractors who manage multiple residential upgrades at once, as seen in recent South Framingham filings.

Homeowners in these neighborhoods should expect crews to arrive for inspections or installations in the coming weeks. The city will continue to update permit statuses as work begins and concludes. Residents wishing to verify the scope of work or contractor licensing can contact the Framingham Building Department directly using the permit numbers associated with these addresses.
