Radio waves with a long enough wavelength to penetrate the walls would only allow you to see large objects, not fine detail. (Some quick research suggests the smallest detail you could make out would be about 10cm.)

Jan 8, 2015 at 23:52 comment added Hypnosifl Worth noting that the radio waves image is from a "pre-Crisis" story, "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" by Alan Moore, so a more recent example would be needed to say for sure that this ability survived in the new continuity DC established after Crisis on Infinite Earths, where Superman's powers were weakened somewhat.
