Is this a load-bearing wall?

[Styler]

I will soon take over a smaller condominium and want to remove a wall that separates the kitchen from the room. My understanding is that the wall is not load-bearing and I have informed the association of my intentions. However, they wanted an opinion from a structural engineer to get a definitive answer. I have the floor plan and an actual picture of the wall itself, as well as the drawings available on the city planning office's website.

I can't determine if the wall is load-bearing from the drawings, my guess is that it is not. It felt quite hollow when I knocked on the wall. However, there is a ventilation duct in the wall as well as electrical installations. Before I contact a structural engineer for an opinion, I would like to get an indication if it can be removed, as I would prefer not to incur the cost if the wall turns out to be load-bearing. If it is, then I don't want to proceed. The building was constructed in 1929.

Grateful for any clarifications.

The wall you are pointing at is not load-bearing, just above the wall there is a beam INP180 (I think it says). The slab the wall stands on is also reinforced at the bottom, which also indicates that the wall is not load-bearing.
I also suggest that you bring out all the drawings of the house before you go to the engineer, to get a complete picture of the frame.

Thank you, I also do not believe it is load-bearing. However, the ventilation duct runs along the right side of the wall, so I won't be demolishing the entire wall. Non-load-bearing walls should not be a problem to tear down.

I am, however, curious when reading the following sentences "even if a wall is not considered load-bearing, it can be structurally important for the building's stability. In the case of an older house, settlement may have reduced the load on the load-bearing walls and instead partially transferred it to other parts of the structure"

Could this mean that tearing down a non-load-bearing wall could have negative consequences on the structure overall if it falls under the above conditions? Is there any legal responsibility if that were to be the case?
