Reply to comment by sgarst in Structural Engineer Recommendations for Rowhome by dustin_the_tortoise

Was the advice “maybe star bolts would help and if that doesn’t try a new wall”? That what she recommended to me and a friend. In my case it wasn’t necessarily bad advice but a mason could have told me the same thing.

In my friend’s case it was a load bearing wall that essentially needed to be rebuilt.

A mason could tell you the same thing, but if you wanted to have the work done legally (and be assured that it was being done properly), you would need to hire a structural engineer to make plans so you could get a permit. Just for anyone who may be wondering.
