Unfenced, unlocked pool at 4711 NE 18 Ave.

Summary

A pool gate with no lock or self-latching mechanism means anyone — including kids — can walk right up to the water. The magistrate called it a health and safety threat, gave the owner 15 days, and told the city it can install a lock itself if the owner doesn't.
