NJ UCC (N.J.A.C. 5:23) applies to above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches in North Bergen. Permits are required. Barrier requirements: either a 4-foot fence around the pool, or a pool wall at least 4 feet high with no external access ladder (or a lockable ladder). Pools must not be placed in front yards.
