Toilet Repair in Marlboro, NJ
About 65% of homes in Marlboro were built before 1990 and 96% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
In Marlboro, 96% 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. At 65% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Marlboro’s housing suggests
65% of Marlboro’s 6,115 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

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.
