Line houses and laws?

Let's create a timeline:

The Haskell Free Library was "spaded" in 1901 and completed in 1904. It was deliberately built across the border in order to foster better U.S. Canadian relations. Although the entrance was placed on the U.S. side, Canadians can now go to and from the Canadian border and that entrance without passports or any border controls.

The International Boundary Commission was created in 1908.

The law now says that no one may build within 3 meters of the originally surveyed line without the permission of the commission, but that was not applied ex post facto. One purpose of the library was to deter such an ex post facto application of the law to other line houses.

I don't know of any buildings that were built either in disregard of the law, or with permission.
