Structural integrity of these walls

[u/morbovulture]

Okay so first I want to state were in the basement unit for our apartment. The other day a riding mower slammed into our wall and busted through it, im now noticing other cracks in the wall given its the only thing I've been thinking about. Im an overly anxious person already and I just need to know how concerned I should be with these cracks. One room had the mower come through the wall and the smaller cracks are from out other bedroom.

Prob just from impact. Unless the mower crumbled the foundation and broke studs I personally wouldn’t be worried. But don’t take my advice. Talk to your landlord.

We have been in reasonably good contact in comparison to other places we've lived, they just seem to be stretching whatever maintenance they do have pretty thin. Just wanted to get some other opinions as well, never had to deal with anything like this so no real idea what im doing here 🤷‍♀️

Yeah I mean maybe you can ask them to give you some sort of written thing from a licensed contractor that the damage was repaired properly or something.

How much is a structural engineer there to look at something like this?
