2. Upon proof that a violation of article fourteen of this chapter, as provided in subdivision one of this section, has occurred, the court may impose a civil penalty, pursuant to subdivisions one and two of section 14-126 of this chapter, after considering, among other factors, the severity of the violation or violations, whether the subject of the violation made a good faith effort to correct the violation and whether the subject of the violation has a history of similar violations.
