I was able to see through and access opening that a section of the bearing wall had been removed (row house/brick and mortar). How would you write that on a report? Thanks!

Photos would help.

I'd say something like "section of bearing foundation wall has been removed. There is a potential of structural damage or failure. Further evaluation by a structural engineer is recommended for proper repair".

It doesn't have to be complicated. Let an engineer write up the recommendation for repair.
