I informed them that I have asked CMHA housing authority for guidance. 

Your PM contract should have a dollar amount above which the PM needs to get your authorization prior to making repairs...anything below that and they make the repairs without prior approval from you. 

., I plan to do just that to double check - I was just reading a book about contracting and the author mentioned how there are definitely varying levels of quality and honesty among contractors (like any profession I suppose).Have it cleaned out with a 4” bit then camera.

I am reading a lot myself and have been wondering if there is a list somewhere on BP where all the books that have been recommended are listed.If such a list does not exist I wonder how hard it would be for a software wizard to create a tool the looks at the podcast show notes, grabs the book titles, authors and who recommended them and then publish it as an ongoing resource.

Contact your local building or housing authority.

Use this link to find out what HUD fair market value rent is for your county's housing authority https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/fmr.html.Also, don't lower your standards because based on what I have uncovered in my research, its a huge reason why many have a disfavorable view of the section 8 program.

Authorities not specifically given to the federal government belongs to the state or the people. 

I later discovered that in the past, I had been able to file my own taxes using Turbo Tax and pay both IRS and VA Tax Authority well before 4/15.

I checked into this ownership program through HUD once upon a time (about 8 years ago) and the allocated funds were exactly $0.00 by the local housing authority.
