Actually a lot of properties the taxing authorities don’t put up for auction.  

." - So we authorize the work.Contractor submits the quote yesterday for $8k and is threatening me about it. 

I would go to the pest control company and ask where they were authorized to install these screens on your property.I doubt you're going to get $3k from anyone, but did the roofing company say what the $3k is for and why a handyman can't just go up for a few hundred bucks and remove the screens?

The housing authority also came out after I told them nobody is living there anymore, so they removed her from the section 8 program and they no longer pay a portion of the rent.

Our developers have all noted that HUD has gotten much better with this program in the last decade and it more depends on the local housing authority being good or bad.

These may all have to be mapped and approved by the agency, authority, having jurisdiction.

There are a lot of tenants that purchase ESA authorizations.  

LOL we ALLLL know who this is referring to... maybe even a BP author... hes kinda like dave... love him or hate him... or a little bit of both.  

We have in our management agreement what amount of work we're authorized to have done without an approval from an owner (ours is $350)  If you don't have that, I would request that.
