Every person conducting or owning a public lodging facility in the city must keep and maintain, at all times, a register or other permanent document, which has inscribed, in ink, the name and home street and town address of each and every guest or person renting or occupying a room or area therein. Such register or document must be signed by each guest, and an agent of the public lodging facility must write opposite each guest’s name(s) the number of each room or area assigned to or occupied by each such guest, together with the time when such room is rented. It is unlawful for any agent of a public lodging facility to allow or permit any guest to occupy privately any room or area in such facility until all such entries have been made in the register or document.
