Lead abatement wants to re-replace my new windows?

I just finished a rehab of a duplex in Cleveland and moved in a tenant. The city shows up and sticks a notice to vacate because some previous tenant years before I bought the place claimed her kid got lead poisoning. During the rehab I out in all new vinyl windows. The abatement specialist is now quoting a need to remove the new windows and replace them again?

Here is that specific item in the quote: "Install glass block windows with vinyl vent. Remove existing window and components, rap in 6 mil poly tape and dispose off of premises. HEPA vac all paint chips and dust. $2340"

There are no paint chips from the windows since they are vinyl now. Is there anything that can be done, or do I have to pay the specialist since the city requires it?
