Solved ! Metal bar with black squares above the kitchen's door. Occasionally displays number(s)
For context this is in an apartment in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It looks like it's indicating the current floor an elevator would be located in, but there is obviously no elevator (nor trash chute) in the kitchen. The number 4 has now changed to another black square. I have not noticed if it has displayed other things, but the 4 was there for a handfull of days.
