What is this and how do I remove it without damaging the wall 😭😭😭

Previous owners applied cork pieces to the wall so that’s what the dark brown stuff is. I’m wondering what kind of glue the lighter colored stuff is and the best way to remove it without damaging the wall.. thanks in advance!

Looking for advice

Advice for someone looking to purchase a house that has been sitting vacant for 6 years with the intent to fix it and live in it. I am a teacher and am working with very little cash. I haven’t seen the inside yet. Still waiting for it to come on the market. Would like advice on what to prepare in the meantime, what to look out for, possible financing options, etc. thank you!

What do you think is going on here?

Family friend is looking to buy a fixer upper. They haven’t gotten to the inspection point yet but are looking for insight on the following two issues. House is a berm house and the picture with the block wall is the berm side. Of course, the crack and bowing is worrisome. The other photo, they are just wondering about the crack in the concrete floor. What do you reckon? Big $$ pointless repairs or is it something that can be reinforced for safety/security and be good to go?

W/D in old Brooklyn Brownstone

Hi there
Previous tenant installed two dryers in our brownstone (2nd and 4th floor) and vented them through the house, ceiling, and out of the skylight. It looks awful and it leaks when it rains. How should I go about fixing this? Thinking about getting a ventless heat pump/ condenser dryer. Please let me know your thoughts- thanks!
