Ok you could be having a problem with carbon monoxide but carbon monoxide (CO) is oderless so that is not causing the smell. Purchase a CO detector if you do not have one, they are available at Wal-Mart etc and are inexpensive and a good idea to have. Next you need to call your HVAC company or plumber, you could have a cracked heat exchanger or incomplete combustion due to the regulator malfunctioning or needing adjusted. By all means do not use the heater until it is fixed. Yes CO is dangerous but it is rare to find a level that is deadly, OSHA says 30 parts per million over an 8 hour period is the limit. If high CO concentrations are a problem you will experience symptoms such as a cherry red tone to the face, headaches, nausea, and confusion.

Who do I contact about a neighbor that is causing a problem with my health?

I have a neighbor that tries to work on cars in the building. He floods my place with car exhaust to the point where it makes me feel sick. It sets off carbon monoxide detectors everyday. I've been sent to the hospital twice.
I've tried contacting OSHA, our local fire department, the police, the building owner, I've talked to the guy who is causing the problem. All say they will get right on it and fix it, but nothing ever changes. No one does anything about it. I don't have the money to hire a lawyer and take this guy to court.
I would move but I live within walking distance to my job. I can't drive because I have seizures. There is no public transportation here either.
Answer
Go to your county health department.
Otherwise you may need to speak to an attorney about getting an injunction against repairing cars in the building... if it's not safe, it's not safe.
I don't know what's to "fix" - the building needs ventilated, apparently.
