Repair estimate after tenant moved out
I'm looking for some feedback, especially from my fellow Rochester, NY investors. My tenant left the duplex unit after almost being evicted. My property manager sent a request to their contractor to make the unit ready and came back with a $5700 estimate which is blowing my mind. Granted I have not seen the unit and the manager has not been in touch with me to discuss yet. I'm trying to determine if the scope of the work seems excessively priced. Here is the description of work.

Note: this estimate those not include a C/O ,section 8 or lead swipe and all unforeseen , alteration and deviation from above specifications involving extra costs will be executed only upon written orders, and will become an extra charge. Over and above the estimate
What are your thought on the cost of these repairs. Every time a repair is needed I feel I'm being ripped off. Thoughts?
Thanks
