NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Sarah Jessica Parker angered West Village residents earlier this month after sharing a series of promotional pictures from her shoe collection shot on the front porch of the home that was shown as Carrie Bradshaw's house on Sex and the City.

According to Page Six, neighbors have been complaining to the city for quite some time about crowds gathering in the neighborhood to look at Bradshaw's home facade. The neighbors are so bothered by the fact they put up a "Do not go on staircase" sign on the steps of the home.

But Parker paid no mind to the sign and even photographed her shoes with it, an image she on Instagram under the caption "Oh no. Eek. Sorry. No. I was just talking about the shoes. Oh man. Geesh. Sorry. X Sj."

Now, the owners of 66 Perry St. are reportedly "up in arms" about the unauthorized shoot, and Parker's disregard of the signage on social media.

"The owners are up in arms as they deal with relentless tourists, and SJP has ignored their requests for an explanation on how she could endorse the shoot, even though 'no trespassing' signs are posted," a source said. "SJP used their house during the years of filming, and now won't acknowledge that she and her company used the steps and facade, this time without permission, to promote her shoe line."

Gerald Banu, the president of the Perry Street Association, said he heard about the incident and wants movie makers to "please have Carrie move to a new address" if a new SATC3 is in the works.

Parker has yet to comment on the incident, which took pace in early October. The 49-year-old actress launched SJP collection as a partnership with Nordstrom in February 2014.
