Overview

• The brownstone at 66 Perry Street, featured as Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment in 'Sex and the City,' has become a global tourist destination, drawing crowds for over 20 years.
• The current owner has filed an application with the Landmarks Preservation Commission to install a cast iron gate to deter fans from trespassing on the property.
• Despite a chain and 'No Trespassing' sign installed in 2014, visitors often climb the steps, take photos, and even vandalize the property with graffiti and carvings.
• The owner recalls agreeing to the location scout's request decades ago, unaware of the lasting impact the show would have on the property and neighborhood.
• The proposal for the gate will be presented at a Landmarks Preservation Commission meeting, as changes to properties in the Greenwich Village Historic District require approval.
