Ellenville, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 142-23
Swimming pools and playground equipment
Operative Text
Swimming pools, playground equipment, etc., shall be designed so as not to be a potential hazard.
Section 142-23 of Ellenville's Code of Ordinances establishes that swimming pools, playground equipment, and similar amenities must be designed in a way that avoids creating potential hazards. The rule sets a safety-by-design standard, meaning the obligation is built into how these features are planned and constructed, not just how they are later maintained. This provision applies broadly to any such installations covered under Chapter 142.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 142-23, property operators who provide swimming pools, playground equipment, or comparable amenities are generally expected to ensure those features are designed with safety in mind from the outset. Compliant operators typically review design plans against recognized safety standards before installation and document that hazard-prevention considerations were addressed. Keeping records of design specifications and any professional reviews can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.
