Toilet Repair in Haiku, HI
In Haiku, about 49% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 33% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
In Haiku the split runs 67% owner-occupied against 33% 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. At 49% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Haiku’s housing suggests
Roughly 49% of housing here predates 1990 and 30% was built from 2000 onwards, so Haiku has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
