Question 18797 — crimes, misdemeanors and contraventions

Summary

Mr. Jean-Christophe Lagarde draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the legal vacuum existing around the administrative competence allowing the administrative closure of hotel establishments in which acts of pimping have been noted. Indeed, the mayor does not have the authority to order the administrative closure of the place, or at least of the rooms affected by prostitution, to the extent that his police powers general are limited, by virtue of article L. 2212-2 of the general code of local authorities, to the public space over which it is competent, excluding, therefore, private properties. Likewise, the prefectural authority cannot order the administrative closure of such a place given that the hotel establishment cannot be qualified as a drinking establishment. In other words, in the current state of the law, no administrative authority is competent to order the closure of an establishment where crimes, in this case acts of aggravated pimping, have been noted. Under these conditions, he asks him to take all the measures he deems appropriate so that such a legal void is filled as quickly as possible.
