Berlin Stops Homeless Placements at Schöneberg’s BB Hotel

Officials cite severe hygiene deficiencies following months of complaints.

Overview

  • The deputy mayor confirmed the facility currently has no ASOG placements and only 28 self-paying occupants remain.
  • An occupancy stop was imposed in August after inspections identified significant hygiene problems, including suspected pest infestation.
  • Police logged 102 deployments at the address in a year, and October raids included two arrests on suspicion of human trafficking and a welfare-fraud check.
  • The local FDP is collecting 1,000 signatures to seek a formal closure through the district parliament.
  • Authorities have not stated when the building was cleared or where former residents were relocated.
