The pentagonal footprint here is likely square and it just looks like it's not in the imagery becasue it was taken at an angle. I cross referenced mapbox and it looks square there. Please see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Roof_modelling#Ty...

You improved the accuracy of some footprints here. Generally try to modify features instead of deleting and re mapping. In this case there's not much loss because there was not much history. Did you check it before making the deletions?
