Swimming Pool codes or regulations in Los Angeles?

[Trevor Baker]

My partner & I are looking for our next house flip project.

I just looked at a home in the San Fernando Valley that is a nice post modern design, but is quite dated and needs a fair amount of work.  

It has a small pool... maybe 6 feet at the deep end.  The pool has clear water in it and pump seems to be functional.  There's an old pool heater that probably isn't functional.  There is a chain link fence between the house and the pool, which I believe is required now to sell and home with a pool?  

The odd thing we noticed is there are no steps in the pool.  There's no ladder.

We've not flipped a house with a pool yet.  What should we check on and/or be aware of before we do??

Thanks!
