355 24Th Ave

3/25/26 at approximately 9:15am, roofing work began on the adjacent building to our apartment. I observed visible smoke and odor coming through the baseboard of our living room. I alerted the roofing crew, who said it was non toxic, and showed me the material they were burning and said it was “GTA.” I observed them holding up a black plastic roll that appeared to be a plastic sheet like material. I immediately opened all windows, turned on the exhaust fans, and put air purifier. Within less than 5 minutes of exposure, I became ill with a headache, nausea, dizziness, itchy throat, coughing, and itchy skin. I immediately evacuated the building upon onset of symptoms. I called my property management company and requested urgent help. They directed me to file a police report. I was assessed by paramedics and told my vitals appeared normal but my symptoms were consistent with a cute toxic fume inhalation, and given a CAD report by SFPD. I followed up with my property management company. All parties advised me to remain away from my unit while it aired out. The majority of sympotoms have stopped after one hour of being away from my unit, but I still have a headache nearly 4 hours after initial exposure. Total exposure time was less than 10 minutes as I had to evacuate my animals as well. They do not appear ill. My windows are still open and I have returned after they completed the roofing work to assess odor, which is still present but decreased as of 1pm.
