Swimming pools
Operative Text
A. Water supply used for filling or for cleaning of the pool shall be clean. Water supply shall be protected against potential pollution from all sources, including cross-connection and backflow. B. Drains shall be provided so that the pool can be safely and adequately drained. Drains shall be provided in floors surrounding the swimming pool and arranged so that water from such areas will drain without entering the pool. C. Filtering, sterilizing and auxiliary equipment, where required, shall be adequate to maintain the sanitary quality of water during each period the pool is in use. Equipment containing gases or disinfectants capable of giving off irritating, toxic or flammable fumes shall be located in ventilated rooms. D. The installation shall be arranged and maintained to prevent dirt, sand or other foreign matter from entering the bathing area.
Great Neck Code of Ordinances ch. 321 § 321-28 establishes sanitation and safety standards for swimming pools associated with residential properties. The rule requires that pool water supplies be protected from contamination, that proper drainage systems keep surrounding water out of the pool, and that filtration and sterilization equipment be sufficient to maintain water quality during use. Any equipment that produces hazardous fumes must be housed in ventilated spaces, and the overall installation must be designed to keep foreign matter out of the bathing area.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating swimming pools subject to Great Neck Code ch. 321 § 321-28 generally maintain clean water supplies with backflow prevention devices, ensure that deck drainage directs water away from the pool, and keep filtration and sterilization equipment in proper working order throughout each use period. Compliant operators also store gas or chemical disinfectant equipment in adequately ventilated rooms and implement measures—such as barriers or rinse stations—to prevent dirt, sand, or debris from entering the bathing area. Routine inspection and documentation of equipment condition are practices commonly associated with ongoing compliance.

Tenants who have access to a swimming pool covered by Great Neck Code ch. 321 § 321-28 have an interest in knowing that the pool's water supply, drainage, filtration, and chemical storage must all meet the standards set out in that provision. If conditions appear to fall short—such as visibly contaminated water, inadequate drainage, or improperly stored pool chemicals—tenants may consider documenting the issue and reporting it to the appropriate local code enforcement or health authority in Great Neck. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing agencies can help clarify what remedies or complaint processes may be available under this provision.
