I would reach out to the architect asap bc where we lived in kalorama, paying the fine was just the punishment but did not correct the problem. Otherwise everyone would have done what they wanted and paid the relatively small fine. You were fined but still had to correct the area that was not done to whatever historic guidelines are in place for that area. My neighbor had to remove his inappropriate windows and redo.
