Defect: Cracks observed at mortar/brick exterior wall. Location (?). No deflection
of wall visible at this time. Significant cracks need attention due to possible
wall, foundation settlement problems. All buildings settle with minor wall and
foundation cracking visible at some point. Recommend sealing cracks to prevent
moisture intrusion and additional ice damage, monitor for further movement and
have a structural engineer evaluate for further qualification should the cracks
enlarge beyond current size.
