A mansion that was supposed to be featured in a reality show about strippers is the site of nothing but controversy.

The owner of the mansion, dubbed Pharaoh's Palace, faces hefty code violations after complaints from those in the nearby Cheval West community.

"Basically it's the noise that got our attention," said Ronald Nagy, who lives near the mansion. "My major concern is that they cease and desist what they're doing."

Exactly what's happening inside the mansion is up for debate. Websites indicate there was once a school for strippers inside.

"It's a school for exotic dancers," Nagy said. "I'm not sure how much training you need for that."

Neighbors became alarmed after hearing loud noises from parties at the mansion last year.

"I've never been involved in running a stripper school," said owner Gary Lowndes. "There's never been any porn parties. There's never been anything illegal other than the noise complaint."

The most recent complaint came last month. The owner said in March the mansion had been rented out for a charity fundraiser.

After hearing from both sides, the county code enforcement board decided the mansion's owner was violating the rules by holding events without the right permit and running a business in a residential neighborhood. If the problems are not fixed in seven days, the owner could be hit with fines of $1,000 a day.

Lowndes disagreed with the board's decision.

"With all this violation stuff, I said, 'fine, that's it, I'm out of here.'" said Lowndes.

After all the controversy, he said he's just ready to sell the property. Pharaoh's Palace is now on the market for nearly $2.3 million.
