   (d)   The penalty provided for in subdivision (a) of this section may be increased to an amount not to exceed five thousand dollars for a subsequent violation if the person committed the same violation within twelve months of the initial violation for which a penalty was assessed, pursuant to subdivisions (a) or (c) of this section and the violation was a serious threat to the health of an individual or individuals.
