Toilet Repair in Haworth, NJ
Two things are true of Haworth at once. The housing is old — 88% of it predates 1990 — and at 95% owner-occupied, the repair decision is the reader's own.
Short version
In Haworth, 95% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. Housing there is 88% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Haworth’s housing suggests
Haworth is old housing by this measure — 88% of its 1,186 housing units predate 1990, and 34% were built before 1940. Anything installed new in those homes was a pre-standard fixture at 3.5 gallons or more, against 1.6 today.
Plenty of them have been changed since, and this data cannot tell you whether yours has. It tells you what the odds are for the street rather than the room.

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.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
