Swimming pools in Union City must comply with N.J.A.C. 5:23 (NJ UCC) requiring a minimum 4-foot fence with self-closing, self-latching gate around all pools deeper than 24 inches. Given Union City's micro-lot sizes, in-ground pools are rare but must meet these standards.
N.J.A.C. 5:23 (NJ Uniform Construction Code) requires all swimming pools deeper than 24 inches to be enclosed by a barrier at least 4 feet high with a self-closing, self-latching gate. The gate must open away from the pool. Gate latches must be at least 54 inches from the ground or on the pool side. Union City enforces these standards through Chapter 426 (Building Construction Standards) and Chapter 223 (LDO). Given Union City's very small lot sizes, in-ground or large above-ground pools are very rare. Any pool installation requires Building Department permits.
Pool without required barrier: stop-use order, mandatory fencing, fines under N.J.A.C. 5:23.
