Apartment Complex Pool Accidents
Shared pools at apartments and condos are a frequent site of preventable drownings — often where access control and maintenance have failed.
A landlord’s duty
Landlords, HOAs, and property managers must keep common-area pools reasonably safe: working gates and fences, compliant drains, posted rules, and adequate maintenance.
Common failures
- Broken gate latches and propped-open gates
- No fencing between units and the pool
- Missing or broken drain covers
- No depth markings, lighting, or safety equipment
- Ignored maintenance complaints
