New Barriers Installed at Iconic “Sex and the City” Brownstone

Don’t even think about slumping down there.

The owner of the famed Posh West Village Brownstone, where Carrie Bradshaw “lived” in the original “Sex and the City” series, has finally put up a gate to deter pesky tourists.

This past Friday, workers were spotted installing and painting cast iron barriers. I was on my usual stroll to Perry Street, hoping to get a shot of “Carrie’s Hoop,” when I came across the scene.

Daniel and Barbara Lover had been appealing to the Gate Gate Landmark Preservation Committee since January, as their Brownstone is situated in the historic heart of Greenwich Village.

Barbara Robert, at 80 years old, reflected on allowing young location scouts to use her front steps during the show’s heyday back in the ’90s. She struggled to fathom the ongoing hustle decades after the final episode aired.

“Back then, no one anticipated the show would become such a lasting phenomenon… let alone an iconic piece of the NYC experience,” she said with a touch of nostalgia.

The Lorbers acquired the four-family building in 1979 for just $131,350, roughly equating to about $585,000 today. They reside on the ground floor and rent out an apartment on each level of the Brownstone.

Even with a “wet paint” sign displayed, fans continued to pose for photos in front of the iconic structure.

The newly installed gates, approved by the city last winter, were crafted by architect Isidro Cruz, featuring custom ironwork similar to those found throughout West Village.

When the Post rang the doorbell on Friday, Rober chose not to comment.
