The south edge of the pad is a cut <br />slope pmtected by a rockery six (6) to dght (8) feet high. The south basement interior wali <br />forms a retaining wall against this slope. Approximately twenty five (25) fat north irom the <br />�outh end of the house vertical ccacks were obsecved in the west founda6on. A brick facade <br />cavers the east founda6on. The bricks have sepacated at a point approximately thirty (30) feet <br />north of the south end of the building. The interior bacement slab on the nonh end of the hous� <br />ehowed a dia�onal crack with observable displacement that appeazs to be related W the exterior <br />ccacin.
