Showing ordinances that apply to Duane Lake, NY
Duane Lake is an unincorporated community (population 329) in Schenectady County, New York. Because Duane Lake is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Schenectady County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The above-ground pools rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Above-ground pools over 24 inches deep trigger NYS Residential Code Appendix G barrier rules. Removable ladders or a 48-inch barrier around the pool top are required. Schenectady County has no separate rule.
Under Appendix G, an above-ground pool wall may itself serve as the barrier if it is at least 48 inches above grade on the outside and access ladders/steps either meet the self-latching requirements or are removable/secured when not in use. Alarm and GFCI requirements of §387(14) also apply to post-2006 installations. Municipal building permits are required for above-ground pools over 24 inches deep in most Schenectady County municipalities.
Unpermitted installs: $250–$1,000 and stop-work; Uniform Code penalties for barrier/alarm gaps.
