In addition, we partnered with Archstone to manage and oversee the day-to-day operations of the community. As of Thursday 03/16/2006, we are very proud to announce that H.G. Fenton Company assumed management of this highly regarded Mission Valley community. Portofino is now the 11th San Diego County multifamily community to join the H.G. Fenton Company portfolio.

Add that to the terrible parking rules (notice I said rulz not the terrible parking problem. There is plenty of parking, YOU JUST CAN'T USE ANY OF IT!!! because of the shyt rules!) So ad that to the parking, and general shytiness of the managment and you have a shyt hole to live in. It's polished pretty and looks nice.. but noise, stupidity and complete disregard, by the managment, for the people that live here abound. Not a person concerned at all about the people that live here.. There to busy enforcing stupid rules... Do we really need a letter telling us not to put our trash on our front porch? REALLY? If you really want to make sure there is no trash, get someone to clean it up! Why? Because the stupid people that leave there trash on the porch DON'T care about the letter!!! Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!!! They still leave that stuff out!! Why does management think they can control dumb stuff like that with letter!? Get someone to make sure its not there. Or Fine the people doing it, don't send a pathetic letter! Could you be less professional?
