  presumably SC stands for Street Cleaner, but what about the D?

• Joe said:

  DSC stands for Department of Street Cleaning, an agency of New York City established in 1881 which became DSNY (Department of Sanitation of New York) .

  The ground floor (first floor to north Americans) premises at the left side of the photograph belongs to New Home Sewing Machine. There is some possibility this is at 432 4th Avenue, New York City according to this, "In the spring of 1927 the executive and general offices of the New Home Sewing Machine Company were removed from 432 4th Avenue, New York city, to the plant works in Orange, mass."
