Who may grant an extension to a compliance deadline?

The authority to extend a compliance deadline lies with the body that issued the order: the Property Standards Officer or the municipal Council. They may grant an extension when there is warranted justification—reasonable obstacles like weather, safety issues, delays, or other legitimate barriers that would make strict compliance within the original timeframe impractical. The property owner or tenant alone doesn’t have the power to extend the deadline, and the court would only come into play in specific legal proceedings, not as the general source of extensions for routine compliance deadlines.
