Every swimming pool shall have erected around it a fence at least four (4) feet in height and approved by the Building Commissioner as to strength to prevent young children from having access to the pool except through a gate which shall be kept locked with an automatic closing gate when the pool is not in use by its owner or anyone using it with his permission. This fence requirement may be waived by the Building Commissioner for above ground pools provided that the ladder, steps or any other means of access or entry into the above ground pool is lockable or capable of being removed from the swimming pool when the pool is unattended. The Building Commissioner is hereby authorized to establish rules and standards for the type and strength of pool fencing or for the operation of any other barrier to access to the pool.
