As unincorporated San Diego County, Bostonia enforces California's Swimming Pool Safety Act. If an enclosure is used as a barrier, it must be at least 60 inches high with a self-closing, self-latching gate that opens away from the pool.
The County requires a barrier under Health & Safety Code sections 115922–115923. A qualifying enclosure must be a minimum of 60 inches high, have no more than a 2-inch gap between the ground and the bottom of the barrier, and reject a 4-inch sphere through any gaps. Gates must open away from the pool and be self-closing with a self-latching device placed at least 60 inches above the ground. The barrier is one of the two required drowning-prevention features; owners choose the enclosure plus one more feature (cover, alarms, ASTM mesh fence, etc.).
A pool lacking the required barrier features fails County building inspection and cannot be finaled; code enforcement may cite an existing non-compliant, unsecured pool as a public-safety hazard.
