Toilet Repair in Lawrence Township, NJ
The housing in Lawrence Township is mostly old — 75% of it predates 1990 — and tenure is genuinely mixed at 68% owner-occupied.
Short version
In Lawrence Township the split runs 68% owner-occupied against 32% 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 75% 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 Lawrence Township’s housing suggests
Lawrence Township is old housing by this measure — 75% of its 12,217 housing units predate 1990, and 8% 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.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
