ROH Sec. 16-6.2 requires Ewa Gentry residential swimming pools to be fully enclosed by a compliant fence or protective device designed to prevent unsupervised access by young children.
The Honolulu Building Code, Article 6, sets strict safety standards for residential pools in Ewa Gentry. Pools must be enclosed by a barrier that meets minimum height, spacing, and self-closing gate requirements to keep small children from gaining access. Doors from the home to the pool area may need alarms or self-latching hardware. These rules apply to permanent in-ground and many above-ground pools. Enforcement is tied to pool permitting, and non-compliance can delay final inspection or lead to significant civil fines.
Permit denials, civil fines, mandatory retrofit of compliant barriers, and potential liability in drowning incidents.
