And another picture from 1909 that shows it was originally a standalone wall (note the windows which are filled in in the picture above to orient yourself):

This map circa 1955 shows that the wall (CONC WALL left side) was incorporated into a building which was eventually removed and replaced with fill behind the wall and parking above:

Where was the city inspection?

The wall was apparently free standing in 1909, but that might have been for an older building that shows up in the 1901 map, and then incorporated into the building as shown in the 1955 map. After that, it was apparently left as a retaining wall when the building itself was torn down, and the sublevels filled in. The railings look similar to what's on the bridge itself in 1909, so it might have been part of the bridge design
