Bergenfield Chapter 277 requires every swimming or bathing pool to be enclosed by a fence meeting Borough minimum standards, with permit applications describing materials, height, and gates.
The Borough of Bergenfield's Chapter 277 governs swimming pools and mandates that each pool be surrounded by a fence or other enclosure conforming to the minimum standards in §277-7D. Permit applications must include a clear description of the proposed fence, including the type of material, height, and number of gates or doors. The Borough's barrier requirements supplement the State Uniform Construction Code's pool barrier provisions, and they apply to in-ground, aboveground, and bathing pools regardless of seasonal use.
Operating a pool without a conforming barrier can lead to summonses, daily fines, and orders to drain or fence the pool.
