While the character Carrie Bradshaw showcased a glamorous lifestyle perched in a dream apartment, the reality appears to be more challenging.

The building's owner said that fans have left graffiti on her stoop and carved their initials into her doorframe

She couldn’t help but wonder — when would all the tourists leave her alone? The owner of the Manhattan brownstone where Carrie Bradshaw “lived” in “Sex in the City” wants the city to approve a gate to block obnoxious fans — and said she only let the series use her building in the 1990s because she felt bad for a location scout afraid he’d lose his job if she said no.
