The lettering style looks vaguely 'oriental'. At first I thought it was 'China City'...but I don't believe China City is in this immediate area.
Can anyone make out what it says?

I believe that's the sign for the Dorothy Mae Apartments (Google Map puts 821 Sunset at the corner of North Figueroa):
March 27, 1927,
Los Angeles Times @ ProQuest via LAPL
The Dorothy Mae burned down in an arson fire on
September 4, 1982, and 24 people died.
In the upper right corner of the close-up . . . is that an older, now-demolished version of the Castelar Street School?
Thanks for that interesting photo,
