Bridgeport Apartments

There is a reason why the best reviews about Yarco properties come from their own employees and the worst come from their residents. This alone should be revealing as to how they do business. They are a family run operation and know nothing about professionalism , decency , compassion or intregity. They only care about your money and will say anything to keep getting it from you. They act like the mafia when you try to get them to fix things and definitely when you try to leave the property.

I lived on a Yarco property for years and in those years I had been flooded 3x and after each time I had no new carpet only replaced padding under it. I had no new paint on my walls , the countertop damage from a previous tenant was spray painted over but never repaired , I was disrespected by the manager and her staff , I was burglarized , my car was vandalized , cockroaches invaded my apartment from my neighbors place and I had to self exterminate cause the complex manager refused to send an exterminator over. 2 months later during my inspection she tells me my apartment smells bad and I say it is the bug bombs since you will not send an exterminator. Her exact words were 'I will send the exterminator when I feel like it'. I asked if she thinks that is how a professional is supposed to act and she tells me 'you know what? don't get beat up'. Like really?

I contacted corporate to tell them that this is how the property manager of Bridgeport Apartments in Kansas City treats residents and yeah she is still working there. That should say more than enough about how Yarco really feels about their property tenants.
Whoever works for Yarco and is replying to these reviews can save the energy and not waste my time with the same crappy response you are giving to everyone else. No I am not going to send you an email that we both know will not get a response. I have called and emailed Yarco multiple times since living on your property and only one call from Yarco was made to me. Why was it made? It was made because someone at Yarco heard from the property manager and she lied about everything. The Yarco representative only called to insult me and deny my claims. Then had the nerve to say 'I don't need to talk to the manager of your complex cause I know her very well and she would never do that'. I said I had proof of everything I was reporting to Yarco and these slum lords did not even want to see it.

I swear that if I could have afforded to break the lease and if I had anywhere else to go after my first year I would have been off of their property. I pray for the day that unprofessional people like these and their properties are out of business. I do not recommend any respectable person to rent from these people. I promise that if I could afford an attorney I would be fighting you all in court for all you have done to me and my children.

they do not care about the residents they only care about the green paper u have. they are only nice when they try to get u to sign the lease and after that its a nightmare. the lease says they can have entry to your apt whenever they want during office hours which leaves your place insecure while u work. it takes weeks or months to get maintenance to even come by. there is no security force like they say it is on the website. if it was then so many ppl wouldnt say they got there place broke into. maintenance is one old lazy guy who can only do so much by himself. and one other guy who is either using google or on the walkie talkie asking for help from the old lazy guy on the easiest things. they never really fix anything and complain the whole time they are in your place about not wanting to work. they get mad about having to come back to fix things they broke or made worse trying to fix. since maintenance fixes nothing the office manager uses that as a excuse not to give u your deposit back when u want to move out. the office never gives ppl the 300.00 credit for referring ppl. they pocket this money and find every excuse not to pay it to u. these ppl are slumlord hustlers and con artists and only care about money. the parent company yarco will not help u if u contact them. they will only tell u they heard nothing from the office and tell u the manager says she had no idea about whatever u complain about. the manager lies to you then lies to yarco about the lies she told to u then she lies to herself about the lies she told to both sides. its just one big circle of lies and games and they do it like pros. they get away with running the property illegally the way they do by bullying ppl till u move out and they just keep doing it to new tenants. they mastered the art of manipulating the system to stay in business. they all work together like one big happy money grubbing family. they will do and say anything to get your money keep your money kick u out on the street and ruin your credit then sucker new ppl in to do the same thing to them. its not worth it to live there and watch those leeches suck u and your neighbors dry. its bad business all the way around. do not report complaints to yarco bc they will do nothing but act like it is all new to them. report it to the city or hud if you want something done about it.

The maintenance staff are like 3 stooges, but dumber. They fix nothing properly. I once called in a work order for my garbage disposal smelling like sewage and no water draining. The doofus maintenance guy shows up 4 months later and says "maybe it's your fuse box", leaves, and never comes back. What a moron!
An inspection is when the staff comes once a year to look at everything the maintenance guys have not fixed since you signed the lease.
The assistant manager Carmika chews and smacks bubble gum all ghetto in your ear when you call the office before hanging up on you. The manager Kathy is like a female Vladimir Putin. She yells at tenants, threatens eviction, claims no one but her knows what they are talking about, she threatens people with violence, writes nasty letters, and gives no courtesy calls on personal or professional matters. If you are lucky you might find an office letter from on the lawn because they do not contact you for anything but money.

MOVE THERE IF YOU DARE!!

My mother lived there for close to 4 years before she passed. I was rushed to clean out her apartment and told I was going to be charged a extra month's rent if I didn't do it. The manager Kathy lied and said that there was a possibility I could get my mom's deposit back. It was Hell being a single working mother and trying to clean out my moms things with little to no help and no compassion from the Bridgeport staff but it was done within a weeks time. There was no damage to anything and they still kept the deposit so that they did not have to clean anything. The assistant manager Carmika gave me evil looks and the maintenance guy was chuckling as they collected the keys from me. No sympathy for my loss and I was told to call Kathy about the deposit. If I didn't have kids I woulda went to jail that day. They really push you to react to their rude and cruel behavior.
I called to talk to the manager about the deposit and she only asked if I gave them the keys. I said I did and she said 'have a nice day' then hung up on me. I called right back and asked when I can get the deposit, she called me a B---- then hung up in my face again. Of course when I showed up at the office 10 mins later I was told she was gone. Coward!!! At least be woman enough to disrespect me to my face.
Please do not deal with these people if you value your money and your life. The way they do business will have you sitting in jail. It might make you feel better afterwards but they are not worth it!!!!!!

I have childhood friends that have grown up in the apartments. 8 years ago when I asked their opinions of if I should move to Bridgeport for my first apartment, They all said that it was a great place to live. Boy were they wrong. The apartments themselves would be great if maintenance actually came out to do proper repairs. The management staff was rude, disrespectful, and only seemed to care about money. I once called in the same work orders FOUR times and although my rent was never late, if I asked to "please" have maintenance come by, I would be yelled at and the phone would click in my face. Most things were either never fixed or other things were broken in the process by maintenance. The staff is rude on the phone and hangs up in your face. The property manager is unprofessional and threatens either to have you beaten up or evicted. I think if there was a better more competent staff that cared about the tenants then it would be great to live there. Unfortunately........NOT!
