statement<\/a> on the house\u2019s website said. \u201cWe have followed all the steps to run as a legit business but have received unlawful behavior. We sincerely apologize to everyone affected.\u201d<\/p>\nA city spokesperson said their staff went to the house on Oct. 1 to inspect the property on 4th Street and E Street. The building inspector cited several code violations and noted that one of the two exits was inaccessible.<\/p>\n
The next day, Cowan canceled the inspection, according to the city. When inspectors showed up on Friday, he was not at the house, the city said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cowan said he can\u2019t fix the safety issues because the city won\u2019t allow him to open the house for business.<\/p>\n
\u201c[The city] gave me a list and I didn\u2019t understand it,\u201d Cowan said. \u201cThey said there was loose electrical. We don\u2019t have that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cowan said his 17-year-old daughter is stable in hospice, but he\u2019s worried that without the money he collects from the manor, he may not be able to continue paying for it. MLD is a rare, genetic disorder that affects the functioning of the brain and nervous system.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a hospital room and a van for her,\u201d Cowan said. \u201cA lot of the costs add up (to) close to $20,000 a year.\u201d<\/p>\n
The haunted house has moved to multiple locations since it opened 13 years ago. Cowan said this isn\u2019t the first time he\u2019s faced safety violation claims.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The attraction only opens on weekends in October, giving Cowan three more to generate revenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cowan met with the city on Monday to see if he will be able to accept visitors on Friday.<\/p>\n
