Hot tubs and spas with covers that meet ASTM F1346 are typically exempt from Chapter 248's pool-fence requirement under the NYS Uniform Code, but still require a building/electrical permit and must meet zoning setbacks.
The NYS Residential Code provides an exception from the pool-barrier rule for spas and hot tubs equipped with a safety cover complying with ASTM F1346 (lockable, weight-bearing cover). Glen Cove enforces the same standard through Chapter 248 incorporation of the NYS Code. Even with the exemption, the spa installation requires electrical permits, GFCI protection, and zoning-setback compliance. Outdoor spas in front yards may be limited by Chapter 280 zoning, which generally requires accessory structures in side or rear yards.
Operating a spa without permits or compliant cover is a Chapter 248 violation enforceable under § 1-15.
