I believe someone mentioned that the building this one is replacing jutted out as well. If that is the case then, if the footprint is the same then it was a matter of right. If the building is encroaching on new space then check the permits. I have to get a permit if I want to legally replace my crappy lopsided steps with some decent steps. DC considers your front yard, regardless of the fence, and the steps and maybe the porch, theirs. You have to get a permit to 'legally' change your fence and steps.

Second, its the newness of the building that is jarring. After 5 years it will seem less jarring and your eyes will get used to it, unless it is truly hideous. There is a Susan Reitag (I'm not spelling her name right) near the Shaw/Howard station that is ugly, but now, after several years, I've gotten used to it.
