New York State Uniform Code (19 NYCRR Part 1226) and Nassau County municipalities require a 4-foot minimum barrier around all pools holding 24 inches or more of water, with self-closing and self-latching gates.
The NY State Residential Code Appendix G (adopted via 19 NYCRR) mandates pool barriers: minimum 48 inches high; openings no greater than 4 inches; self-closing gates latching at 54 inches above ground; alarms on doors leading from the house to the pool. Nassau County building departments inspect at pool installation and upon complaint. Local variations include Garden City and Old Westbury requiring 5-foot barriers.
Non-compliant pool barriers trigger orders to correct within 30 to 60 days and fines 250 to 2,500 dollars. Town or village can order pool drained until barrier is compliant.
