Every building hereafter erected and also every existing building
not now supplied from some outside source with illuminating and heating
gas, to which a gas connection may hereafter be run from such outside
source, shall have a conveniently accessible stopcock or other suitable
device fixed to the supply pipe leading into the building at a place
between the sidewalk line and the line of the curb of the street from
which said supply pipe is run, so arranged as to allow the supply
to be shut off; provided, however, that where any building is situated
at a distance of more than 100 feet from the street from which such
supply pipe is run, said stopcock or other suitable device may be
situated inside the curb of said street but not less than 30 feet
from such building. Such stopcocks or other device shall be so marked
as to indicate the contents and purpose of the supply pipe to which
it is attached.

liable for a fine not to exceed $250 for each offense or by imprisonment
