Our home was built in 1929, and is brick with stone foundation. It's attached to a 10 unit apartment building, and was the builder's home. About 10 years ago, the apartment side of the building bowed and collapsed. Our side is bowed, but not as bad. Should we be worried, and what should we do? I think it was pointed in the 50's.

From what little you tell me, yes, I would surely be worried. So let's find out some more information, and maybe I'd still worry, or maybe I'd worry less.

Are your walls solid brick, or are they a brick veneer over wood-framed walls? If they are solid, how thick are they? Is your home one or two story? Is there any evidence inside the home that matches the bowing on the outside? Is the bowing in a load-bearing wall? Where on the wall is the worst of the bowing...top, middle, bottom? When the apartment wall collapsed, was it just the brick facade that collapsed, or an entire wall, leaving the interior of the building exposed? When it collapsed, did anyone diagnose the reason?

The more answers to those questions you can give, the more educated our guesses can be, but I would, if I were you, probably have a good mason or a sensible engineer or architect look at the wall and make recommendations.

Several issues here. Why did the township in which you reside not condem the entire structure? If the wall bowed and collapsed that tells me something is very structural unsound about the way the building was constructed. Richard is correct you need to have a structural engineer evaluate the building. I would prepare to be moved out just in case. If the building department gets wind that the walls are beginning to bow again, they can kick you out on the spot and you will NOT be able to go back in to get your belongings.
The repointing is interesting. The only reason that repointing is performed is when cracks develope which is a early indication that something is going on with the structure. Mortar simply does not need to be replaced unless the house/building was very old and 1929 is young for a brick house. So the very fact that they had to repoint the building at such a young age concerns me.
