Pearl City residential pools must be enclosed under ROH Sec. 16-6.2, with companion standards at 16-7.9 covering public and condo pools at Pearl City Highlands and Waimalu complexes.
ROH Chapter 16, Article 6 at Sec. 16-6.2 sets residential pool barrier requirements: fences at least 4 feet tall, self-closing and self-latching gates, and spacing that will not pass a 4-inch sphere. Enforcement is strict due to the high share of households with young children in Pearl City's military-family population. Public and semi-public pools at Pearl City condo associations and apartment complexes in Waimalu follow companion rules at Sec. 16-7.9. Installations are inspected at permit final and in response to code-enforcement complaints. Rental properties are inspected on the same schedule; landlords often embed compliance requirements in military-family leases.
Non-compliant barriers can trigger DPP orders to drain the pool, daily civil fines until compliant, and potential civil liability after any child-access incident.
