I've seen them around before... but the only one I can think of off the top of my head is King County (Seattle) Washington... They have a separate title for code enforcement (Title 23). You can access their code through
www.mrsc.org ... but here is an excerpt for you (sorry about the formatting... it's a mess):
23.32.010 Assessment schedule.
A.1. Civil fines and civil penalties for civil code violations shall be imposed for remedial purposes and shall be assessed for each violation identified in a citation, notice and order, voluntary compliance agreement or stop work order pursuant to the following schedule.
a. Citations
(1) With no previous similar code violations $100
(2) With one or more previous similar code violations $500
(3) With two or more previous violations of K.C.C. Title 10 Double the rate of the previous penalty
b. Violation of Notice and Orders and Stop Work Orders
(1) Stop work order basic penalty $500
(2) Voluntary compliance agreement and notice and order basic penalty $25
(3) Additional initial penalties may be added in the following amounts for violations where there is:
(a) public health risk $15
(b) environmental damage risk $15
(c) damage to property risk $15
(d) one previous similar code violation $25
(e) two previous similar code violations $50
(f) three or more previous similar code violations $75
(g) economic benefit to person responsible for violation $25
2. For the purposes of this section, previous similar code violations that can serve as a basis for a higher level of civil penalties include violations of the same chapter of the King County Code. Any stop work order or notice and order previously issued by the department shall not constitute a previous code violation for the purposes of this section if that stop work order or notice and order was appealed and subsequently reversed.
B. The penalties assessed pursuant to this section for any failure to comply with a notice and order or voluntary compliance agreement shall be assessed daily, according to the schedule in subsection A of this section, for the first thirty days following the date the notice and order or voluntary compliance agreement required the code violations to have been cured. If after thirty days the person responsible for code compliance has failed to satisfy the notice and order or voluntary compliance agreement, penalties shall be assessed daily at a rate of double the rate for the first thirty days. Penalties may be assessed daily until the person responsible for code compliance has fully complied with the notice and order.
C. Penalties based on violation of a stop work order shall be assessed, according to the schedule in subsection A of this section, for each day the department determines that work or activity was done in violation of the stop work order.
