Toilet Repair in Cocoa Beach, FL
Cocoa Beach is a town of older homes, 82% of them built before 1990, where a little over a third of households are renting.
Short version
In Cocoa Beach the split runs 77% owner-occupied against 23% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. With 82% of the housing built before 1990, a fixture predating the 1.6 gallon standard may still be in place; the figure describes the building rather than the bathroom.

What the age of Cocoa Beach’s housing suggests
With 82% of homes built before 1990, Cocoa Beach sits firmly on the old side of the flush-volume line. EPA describes pre-standard toilets as using 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons per flush, and older ones as much as 6.
The house is what this dates. If you want to know about the fixture itself, the date is usually molded inside the tank lid.

What is actually wrong with it
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
