The surveyor surveys your property and records – depending on the commission – all relevant information such as for example sewer heights or – as in your case – the protective wall. It is not his task to verify whether the existing measurement data matches the specifications of the approved development. He transfers the status quo onto paper.
Not even that in the subdivision survey – and more hasn’t happened here yet anyway.
When subdividing plots, only the boundary points are set, an usually non-scale location (!) sketch is created as an annex to the boundary protocol, and the new boundaries are transferred to the cadastral map.
Only after that was the wall (presumably) built here, so it could not have been part of the survey and anyway it does not enter the cadastral map, at most as a usage boundary, which would also be unusual.
Only in the site plan for the building application would the wall including heights be depicted by the surveyor; but the building application is obviously not that far yet.
@hetjam9 : Clear contact here: the building authority that approved the wall or the builder who sold the property (how was it offered/advertised!?) and possibly existing statements/attachments in/to the purchase contract that was concluded.
Read the purchase contract carefully, usually it says somewhere in essence "bought as seen" – then you potentially buy the wall as it is, if no special information/agreements were made in the purchase contract.
