What defines a 'reasonable time' for compliance in non-emergency cases?

Reasonable time is determined by the order itself. In non-emergency cases, the enforcing authority sets a time period that reflects the scope and complexity of the required work. If circumstances justify it, extensions can be granted. This approach ensures the deadline is practical for what must be done, rather than a one-size-fits-all period. Fixed or no deadline would not fit the variety of jobs, and penalties come as a consequence of noncompliance, not the definition of the reasonable time itself.
