Glendale requires all residential swimming pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 5 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates. California's Swimming Pool Safety Act (Health & Safety Code 115920-115929) mandates specific safety measures for all residential pools.
Under California's Swimming Pool Safety Act and the Glendale Building Code, all residential pools must have at least two of the following safety features: an enclosure meeting ASTM standards, surface wave alarms, pool covers meeting ASTM standards, or exit alarms on doors/windows. The barrier must be at least 60 inches high with no openings larger than 4 inches. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with the latch at least 60 inches above grade. Doors providing pool access must have alarms.
Non-compliant pool barriers are a serious safety violation. The city issues immediate correction notices. Daily fines apply until compliance is achieved. Drowning incidents may result in criminal liability.
