If it's a major foundation issue where the masonry is shot due to years upon years of water exposure, it could be a >$ deal.

Cracking in masonry and drywall is common at the lintels above the window and door headers and at the window sills due to minor settlement.

If I were you I'd send some picks to a masonry and/ or foundation repair company.

I'm a structural engineer, but I'm not very familiar with brick construction (we don't really do that in CA), and I can't see what the rest of the building is framed with, so I'm just providing some basic points that I can think of based on my knowledge of masonry. 

Like I have to use masonry bits to drill in to it to hang things on the walls.  

I would take good pics showing if it's one or two story and how far off driveway it is and email to masonry contractors for estimates.

@Doug Norton other critical issues include: decreasing availability of water and increasingly poor air quality, and an impending earthquake that is anticipated to cause significant total loss rates for the un-reinforced masonry buildings that make up much of the housing stock in the city...obviously, nobody knows when that will occur, but geologists generally agree that the earthquake is a matter of "when", not "if" (yet, my impression is that very few property owners have earthquake insurance)...it's hard to know how these issues will play out, but there is evidence that one or more of these issues will become un-ignorable on a 10-30+ year timeline.ADUs are an interesting prospect, but the last time I got quotes for building an ADU in SLC, the numbers really didn't make much sense in terms of ROI as a long term rental...of course, people build ADUs for reasons other than ROI, so it will be interesting to see what happens...Between the world-class outdoor attractions, events like Sundance Film Fest, and all the other attractions of the city and surrounding area, I would think that demand for STRs could be pretty huge...the city doesn't allow STRs, but as you mentioned, that doesn't stop people from doing them, and my impression is that some folks have cleaned up using ADUs as STRs...As with any place, the SLC RE market is highly localized, and there's a solid argument that the desirable neighborhoods (the Aves, the U, Sugarhouse, E Millcreek, and most stuff on the E side) will always be in high demand--everyone wants to live in these areas, and there's limited supply. 

With masonry, the only time it becomes an issue is if you see issues like laddering (mortar cracking along the bricks) over large sections of the wall, a wall that is sagging or pulling away, etc.

i assume good masonry isn't cheap. thanks!

Remember, this is very basic...and these can get quite complex and detailed depending on the scope.These were;Demo/ cleanoutPrep & drywallPrime and paint all walls, ceiling trimPrime and paint cabinets- add new hardwareInstall new counter tops, sink, and faucetInstall LVP flooring in bath and kitchenCarpet squares in living and bedroomsReplace all light fixturesReplace all plumbing fixtures (sometimes toilet and sink/vanity)Add medicine cabinetRefinish shower/tubAdd wainscot and top railAdd new door hardware throughoutInstall new appliances...If you are planning for exterior work like replacing a roof, masonry work, adding siding or windows and doors your budget will double...if you are replacing mechanical systems like furnace or a/c or water heaters...your numbers will change drastically …Most of this stuff can either be estimated per unit or sq.ft. and you can get 80% accurate and build in contingency...What is the type of property, the sq.ft. and is there exterior and interior work...what about the structure...is it good...drainage good?
