Efflorescence, no?

There is nothing on the other side of that brick except a cat-walk type thing that runs along those windows. I suspect water runs down the other side of that wall and carries the minerals in the brick/mortar out through the paint.

I would guess efflorescence bleeding through the paint, yes. This streetview pre-paint job shows this area had issues before. Going to be pretty difficult "fixing" this now and would also say they have ruined the brick. Would have been better off leaving it.
