Once would assume that the funnel was left over from the building's previous incarnation. There may have been an opening right above it, or a pipe from higher up, to allow whatever product they manufacured or disposed to be funneled into a vessel or a vehicle waiting below. Unless you know what went on in that building before it was converted to apartments there is no way of knowing what it was used for.

The roof lowers and hides the windows as seen in the exterior photos. It raises to provide room for the loft bedroom.
