Customers seek refunds after code violations close Mt. Hood Center [Video]

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — In the wake of the sudden closure of an equestrian and event center due to code violations, customers are now coming forward saying they can’t get a refund.

The Mt. Hood Center in Boring, Oregon was forcibly shut down this week by Clackamas County, which also issued the owners a public nuisance lawsuit after what government officials described as a years-long pattern of violating building codes. That includes allegedly hosting events for which it was not zoned and allowing more people in the building than the 300-occupancy, among other issues.

With the closure of the center comes the cancellation of several planned events. In fact, since KOIN 6 News reported on the shutdown, several people have reached out to us saying they were trying to get refunds for their weddings, birthday parties and other events.
