Existing Gates - Renovated Pool

That is nice if the pool barrier was compliant at the time it was originally permitted which is not the case here.

Correct....But it allows a pool with no barrier to be replaced with no barrier as that was what was legal at the time....In CTs case, somewhere before 1971....

Even if I lived in CT I would require a pool barrier and let the applicant fight it if they chose to. They do have an appeal process. I don't know if what you showed us was binding or not so unsure of the relevance on something that was many code cycles ago.

Binding...sort of:

104.1.1​

Pursuant to subsection (a) of section 29-252 of the Connecticut General Statutes, the State Building Inspector and the Codes and Standards Committee shall, jointly, with the approval of the Commissioner of Administrative Services, adopt and administer a State Building Code for the purpose of regulating the design, construction and use of buildings or structures to be erected and the alteration of buildings or structures already erected and make such amendments thereto as they, from time to time, deem necessary or desirable.

Binding, until/unless superseded by a newer interpretation. Per state statute, only the State Building Inspector can interpret the building code in Connecticut. Connecticut General Statutes:

Sec. 29-252. (Formerly Sec. 19-395). State Building Code: Adoption, revision and amendments. State Building Inspector: Appointment; interpretations of code. Appeal.

(c) The State Building Inspector or his designee may issue official interpretations of the State Building Code, including interpretations of the applicability of any provision of the code, upon the request of any person. The State Building Inspector shall compile and index each interpretation and shall publish such interpretations at periodic intervals not exceeding four months.

What steveray posted is a copy of a formal interpretation from the State Building Inspector. It is binding in every municipality in the state.
