This is outside my apartment building, next to the car park. Is it a connector for a hose of some kind?

It's a water spigot with a removable handle so people can't turn it on and let it run.
The handle will go into the hole on front and the top piece is a vent that allows water that drains back from the hose to exit the spigot instead of reentering the city water supply.
