INDIALANTIC, Fla. – Just weeks after Brevard County evicted Sonja Kopriva from her unhygienic residence, ending a troubling saga where neighbors accused her of discarding human waste onto their properties, residents along Atlantic Avenue are left pondering her whereabouts and the future of her condemned home.
Back in November, Susan Brennan shared with Indialantic Community Correspondent James Sparvero that Kopriva’s actions were jeopardizing not just her own health but also the well-being of others in the vicinity, aided by a man who I encountered on her porch.

“She uses a bucket for her bodily waste, and this man goes around spreading it wherever he pleases,” Brennan explained.
Although Brennan was relieved to see Kopriva removed from her porch and placed into treatment (Kopriva admitted to Sparvero that she was unwell and in need of assistance), the absence of her former neighbor in the new year brings a mix of relief and unease.
“People will be in fear if she returns to this neighborhood,” Brennan said.
Like others in the community, Brennan thanked News 6 for trying to help solve this problem, but she also worried that, because the house is still there, what could happen next.

Some neighbors said the rats at Kopriva’s are making their way to other homes.
“I think this is just the start of the story because the house is still here, and now what happens to it,” Brennan asked.
Neighbors said they’ve heard from the sheriff’s office that Kopriva can only come home if she brings a contractor to make repairs or demolish the house.
Kopriva was given two months to address her property’s issues, so she has until February.
