Every Pearl City residential pool must be enclosed by a barrier meeting ROH Section 16-6.2, with self-closing self-latching gates and gap limits designed to prevent child access.
Section 16-6.2 mandates fences, walls, or enclosures around residential pools, spas, and hot tubs meeting or exceeding statutory depth. Barriers must meet the minimum height on all sides, have gap spacing that defeats climbing or squeezing, and include self-closing, self-latching gates with interior latches above the specified height. For military tenants renting Pearl City homes near Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, landlords remain responsible for barrier compliance. Chain link, wood, masonry, and approved mesh can all qualify if they meet the gap and height standards. Section 16-7.9 covers public pools separately. Pool safety covers may only substitute for spa fencing.
Damaged fence panels, gates that fail to self-latch, or gaps exceeding code limits trigger Section 16-6.2 citations and may require immediate pool draining until repaired.
