Springfield Marina – Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Huntington Beach

Office of Record — Evidence Suppression, Mail Fraud Chain, Corporate Notice Recipients Personnel: Angie Maldonado (Manager), Dennis (Corporate Representative)

I. Summary of Role

Springfield Marina is the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS) Huntington Beach office that served as the physical and administrative gateway for all communications, payments, certified mail, and agent supervision relevant to this case.

Two key individuals — Angie Maldonado (front-office manager) and Dennis (corporate-level contact) — handled or acknowledged tenant communications, certified notices, and evidence submissions during the 2023–2025 period. Their roles directly impact the chain-of-custody, corporate awareness, and potential suppression of evidence.

This office is where the USPS-certified rent payment was delivered and signed for (“H.”), making Springfield Marina an essential point of investigation for mail fraud, evidence suppression, and corporate misconduct.

II. Key Individuals

1. Angie Maldonado — Office Manager

Primary gatekeeper for correspondence directed to BHHS Huntington Beach.
Responsible for receiving tenant complaints, mail, evidence packets, and notices.
Had direct duty to escalate fraud, habitability, and payment issues to corporate legal.
Failed to investigate or respond to certified communications warning of criminal conduct.

2. “Dennis” — BHHS Corporate Representative

Contacted tenant by phone after fraud report escalated beyond branch level.
Acknowledged receiving documents but took no corrective action.
Communicated that corporate “could not be responsible for franchisee actions.”
Failed to disclose required information or preserve evidence.

III. Timeline of Office Involvement

2022–2023: Office listed property, processed lease paperwork, and supervised agents Ly and Le.

2024–2025: Tenant repeatedly provides notice of fraud, forged lease, and concealed evidence.
