💡 Five Town Homes & Living — Homeowners should immediately verify that their pool enclosures meet the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, specifically ensuring self-closing and self-latching gates are functional to avoid potential municipal fines and liability risks. Installing secondary layers of protection, such as door alarms that sound within seven seconds of a gate opening or surface wave sensors, provides a critical technological buffer for properties with backyard pools. Reviewing your current homeowners insurance policy for specific pool-related liability coverage limits is a necessary step to ensure your assets are protected against the increased risks associated with backyard water features. **We recommend scheduling a professional inspection of your pool barrier hardware this week to ensure full compliance with local safety ordinances.**
