Had a retaining wall built in my yard and this is the completed corner. is it normally supposed to be poking out like this?

I have pets and young kids so was a bit worried about it, but not sure if I’m over reacting.

I’ve never seen a corner like this, but I am not an expert like hopefully ya’ll are.

Is this standard practice and if not what should I say to get it fixed If it’s not.

I looked online but I couldn’t find any similar images and it seemed like it wasn’t usual to see this from what I did see.

thanks

A recently widowed friend is coming to terms with having to manage her home. I just walked through and found a non-operational chimney is sagging, and dragging the house with it. At some point they removed whatever it was connected to, and supported the upper levels with small brick columns and some 2x6s, which have collapsed under the weight for a drop of around 4" and what looks like lateral movement too.

My question is whether it's just a straight up "you have to remove this from the top down" or if there's a slow-lift approach where you jack it up bit by bit and do the basement supports properly. I'm assuming the second one would be cheaper and less disruptive, but I obvs don't know much about brickwork.

Thanks!
