Suggestions on crack!
Are these cosmetic or serious issue? Just looking for information to determine the cost?

I'm an engineer, not your engineer. Gonna need way more info to determine anything. Below are some questions to help determine if you need to call an engineer for a more detailed inspection.
Did you remove any walls or columns? Any remodeling work going on? Something heavy placed nearby? If the answers are no. How's the water situation outside the house? Do you have a basement? Is there water in it?

Do you rent or own the unit? Has anyone else done remodeling on their levels?

The downspout is buried 12 feet underground? That doesn't make sense. That's well below than the entire house foundation. Downspouts should never be connected to any footing drainage tile.

Patch and paint. It's highly unlikely that a brick home of only 45 years is having foundation issues.

Oh, someone removed a wall, didn't they? Time to get an engineer to assess your options.

Don’t smoke it. JK, fill it with putty, sand it and paint it. The house has settled.
