(3) To require proof of compliance to be filed by respondent at periodic intervals;
(4) To require a person who has been found to be in violation of this section and who is licensed by a state and/or city agency authorized to grant a license to show cause to the licensing agency why his or her license should not be revoked or suspended; and
(5) May impose a penalty upon any respondent up to $1,500 for the first and second violation within a 5-year period, and may further impose a penalty of $2,500 for 3 or more violations within a 5-year period.
