NJ UCC (N.J.A.C. 5:23) requires a permanent barrier of at least 48 inches surrounding all swimming pools. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching. The barrier must be non-climbable from the outside. Lakewood's code states that all ordinances involving construction and maintenance of private residential swimming pools, including setback and fencing requirements, remain in full force and effect. Zoning approval and building permits must be obtained prior to pool and fence construction. Pool fences require both zoning and UCC permits.
Non-compliant pool barriers may result in stop-work orders, fines, and denial of certificate of occupancy.
