Great Neck Plaza Code of Ordinances Chapter 124, Section 124-29 establishes sanitation and safety standards for swimming pools in the village. The rule requires that pool water supplies be kept clean and protected from contamination through cross-connection or backflow, that proper drainage systems be in place both for the pool itself and for surrounding floor areas, and that filtration and sterilization equipment be sufficient to maintain water quality during use. Additionally, any equipment housing hazardous gases or disinfectants must be housed in ventilated spaces, and the overall installation must be designed and maintained to keep foreign matter out of the bathing area.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating swimming pools subject to Section 124-29 of the Great Neck Plaza Code generally ensure that water supply lines are protected against backflow and cross-connection, and that both pool and deck drainage systems are properly installed and functional. Compliant operators maintain filtration and sterilization equipment at a capacity adequate for the pool's use periods, and store chemical or gas-based disinfectants in properly ventilated rooms. Routine maintenance practices under this section also include measures to prevent dirt, sand, or other debris from reaching the bathing area.

Tenants who have access to a swimming pool as part of their rental housing may have protections under Great Neck Plaza Code Chapter 124, Section 124-29, which sets baseline sanitation and safety requirements for pool facilities. If a pool appears to have inadequate drainage, unprotected water supply lines, poorly maintained filtration equipment, or improperly stored chemicals, these conditions may constitute violations of this provision.
