Any ideas what these signs on this building mean? (lemmy.ml)

Aside of these signs and the address numbers, the building is completely unmarked.

Sure, but I don't think the building should have two labels. I think it should have one label that reflects a warning for everything in the building.

Imagine you have a crate with two different chemicals. The chemicals are in different bottles so they aren't mixed, and each bottle has its own label.

Should the crate have two unidentified labels like this, or one? There's no indication what those labels refer to on the building.

if the chemicals are extremely different in hazard it could be useful to know that it's not a mixture, like a superacid and a strong base.
