Showing ordinances that apply to Duane Lake, NY
Duane Lake is an unincorporated community (population 329) in Schenectady County, New York. Because Duane Lake is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Schenectady County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The safety rules rules below are the ones that govern your area.
NY Executive Law §387(14) and 19 NYCRR §1228.2 require ASTM F2208 pool alarms on all residential pools built or substantially modified after December 14, 2006. GFCI outlets, safety covers (spas/hot tubs), and anti-entrapment drains are also required.
Pool alarms must detect entry at any point on the pool surface. GFCI-protected electrical service is required for any pool or spa equipment under the National Electrical Code. The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (federal) mandates anti-entrapment drain covers for any public-accessible pool; residential pools installed after 2008 must also comply. Safety covers are strongly recommended and required in some municipalities for above-ground pools without barriers.
Pool-alarm violation: $500 first, $1,000 subsequent; ongoing Uniform Code penalties up to $5,000/day.
