Swimming pool permit rules in Islip, NY — also covering above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and spa installations — set fencing, barrier, alarm, and inspection requirements.
A building permit from the Town of Islip Building Division is required before constructing, installing or maintaining any swimming pool, and the permit must be displayed on site whenever work is being performed.
Town of Islip Code Section 68-386A makes it 'unlawful to construct, install, use or to allow or maintain a swimming pool in any district, except in compliance with this article and after a permit therefor has been procured from the Building Division of the Department of Planning and Development.' Section 68-386B further requires that no contractor or installer build a pool on behalf of an owner without first obtaining a copy of the building permit, and that 'permit is to be displayed on site at all times work is being performed.' Permits are issued by the Town of Islip Department of Planning and Development, Division of Building, at One Manitton Court, Islip, NY 11751 (Permits: 631-224-5466). The Town's pool permit package requires that all related permits identified in the scope of work, including Plumbing, Dewatering, Land Grading, Wetlands, and an approved SWPPP where applicable, be obtained prior to permit issuance. Pools must also meet the minimum side and rear setbacks in Section 68-386D, which range from 10 feet in most districts up to 18 feet in Residence AAA/AA and 25 feet in a Residence BAA District. When a pool is abandoned, Section 68-386I requires the owner to fill all voids and depressions, restore the grade, and obtain all applicable Building Division permits.
Under Town Code Section 68-386B(1), any person who violates the permit requirements of Section 68-386A or 68-386B 'shall be guilty of a violation, which shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding $5,000 or by imprisonment for a period not to exceed 15 days, or both; and each day's continued violation shall constitute a separate additional violation.'
