INDIALANTIC, Fla. – Weeks since Brevard County kicked her out of her filthy house and put an end to when neighbors said she dumped human waste in their yards, some on Atlantic Avenue are wondering where Sonja Kopriva is now, and how long her condemned property is going to stay like that?
In November, Susan Brennan told your Indialantic Community Correspondent James Sparvero that Kopriva wasn’t just putting her own health at risk, but with the help of this man who I also met on her porch, others on the street as well.

“She defecates in a bucket, and then this guy walks around and dumps it around wherever he chooses,” Brennan said.
While Brennan was happy to see Kopriva removed from living on her porch and taken to treatment (Kopriva told Sparvero she was sick and needed help), a new year without her old neighbor is also causing some anxiety.
“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.
