1950 house, original CMU foundation with 1970ish poured concrete addition, currently being flipped by REA.

Any comments?

Why Marcel?
All I see is either a header or beam covered by plywood and with the angle of the camera it is hard to tell if the wall is crooked or not.
Foundation is mentioned but I do not see the foundation.

I was trying to decide if that was a concrete beam or torn up Sheetrock.

Too much covered to tell what is going on other than I am looking towards an older garage door and wondering if this place is on a hill.

Idon't know what the span is , but that cut in the basement wall is going to be i jepardy with that skinny little header . There is probable no or very little rebar in whats left of the concrete wall . And of corse this was anexterior wall , now that header has to hold up the concrete and the load bearing wall . Should have bean engineered !
