The thingy on top looks like some sort of...thingy. My first thought is a cell phone signal interceptor - this can easily be tested if you have access to the immediate area of the van and an Android cell phone. There's apps that let you see which tower you're connected to, and if it's an interceptor then the app will give you garbage/unknown data for the tower.
EDIT: Is that a motherfucking camera pointing towards the building?
Okay, forget process of elimination, this is definitely some sort of surveillance van.

Thingy. Towards the right hand side of it, looks like a dish, it has a parabolic shape to it, with a hockey puck shaped thing pointing at it, either a transmitter/receiver. Inside the van, a clue is the vent at the bottom left, which would support the idea of there being some hardware in there in need of cooling.

Its not mounted on the building, as there are tree branches between it and the building.
All in all, its hardly covert, just unmarked (it could be marked with a TV Crew type logo if it wanted to explain the gear on the roof). If it didn't want to be seen, all the gear could be housed inside the van and still do its business at that short a range.

Let's do some process of elimination here.

Looks like a party van to me.

No. It's not possible to know who listens to radio signals.
You possibly are thinking of so called IMSI catchers, those can't be checked per app AFAIK.
If you use Android or iOS it doesn't even matter, all your data is accessible by the US governent.
