Advice on Potential Foundation Issues

[Yaniv Tivon]

Hi everyone, I have a property under contract that the inspector flagged some foundation issues for.  I received a second opinion on it that  indicated that the foundation is OK and I would greatly appreciate any advice from the BP community before I spend money hiring a structural engineer. The foundation is made of brick that's mostly covered by stucco. The first inspector made his evaluation based on the bricks that are showing. He also said that the floor joists are supported by a temporary support (see pictures). Thank you in advance!

Will your loan close with this type of "Weekend Home Handyman" sloppy unfinished work (???)

Will they require it done to code to make the loan (???)

To me it looks like the Three Stooges did it.

One trade opens a hole in the wall/foundation to make some repairs, they don't do hole repairs and leave it.

Homeowner decides to just leave it, or stack loose rubble bricks back in the hole--thus saving cost of a proper repair job.

This is an extreme brick problem: https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/defenders/2020/06/29/detroit-familys-home-collapses-as-landlord-refuses-to-answer-calls/
