Service disconnect for a building

[mshields]

May a service disconnect for a building be on the outside, exterior wall of that building?

Yes, and some local codes require them to be there.

230.70(A) (1) Readily Accessible Location. The service disconnecting means shall be installed at a readily accessible location either outside of a building or structure or inside nearest the point of entrance of the service conductors.

And some local codes (Chicago?) require them to be inside.

Yes, I believe that is correct.
