Landlord Has Been Unresponsive About My Rights After Huge Fire At Our Place That I'm Not Liable For

Location: San Francisco, California

To make a long story short: the roofers my management company hired burned down our bedroom wall. They (the roofers) were very responsive and took full responsibility, put us in a hotel and etc. The problem is that there are still a number of things that have yet to be addressed and the contact for the management company whom I was told to email replies only after months and, when he does, offers no help.

I've settled that my first biggest priority here is to get an expert in here to assess whether the apartment is actually inhabitable. I got a smoke restoration guy in here to look at the books (another story) and he said there could still be residual VOCs in the walls. I don't know if its in my head but I really feel like I can't breath at night (remember the fire was in the bedroom). This is really affecting my sleep.

I emailed the contact for the management company requesting this service and he essentially said he would reach out to the roofing company and let me know what they say. That was several months ago now.

I'm aware that legally the apartment needs to be habitable at all times, so I'm positive it isn't the legal responsibility of the roofers to hire these people, but that its fully incumbent on the management company to follow through with these things. What should I do?
