    d.  Storage  and  use.  Liquefied  chlorine  gas may be stored only in
  quantities specified  by  the  commissioner,  and  under  the  following
  conditions:
    1. In approved fireproof buildings used exclusively for the storage of
  liquefied  chlorine.  Such building shall be designed and constructed in
  accordance with all applicable provisions of the building code.
    2. In enclosed lots or yards in  sparsely  settled  sections,  in  the
  discretion of the commissioner, and under such restrictions as he or she
  may deem necessary.

  of fire.

  protected by an approved automatic sprinkler system.
    5. The number of liquefied gas cylinders  permitted  above  the  grade
  floor  shall  not in any case exceed in number twice the number actually
  connected and in use at  any  one  time,  and  the  cylinders  shall  be
  supported  from  the  ground  in  such manner as not to be dependent for
  support upon any non-fireproof portion of the building construction.

  chlorine  in  any  building  used  for  a hotel, lodging house, tenement
  house, or dwelling, or in any building, lot or enclosure located  within
  fifty  feet  of  the  nearest wall of a building occupied as a hospital,
  school, theatre or other place of public amusement or assembly.
    e. Sale. It shall be unlawful to sell any liquefied chlorine  for  use
