Toilet Repair in Monmouth Beach, NJ
In Monmouth Beach, 82% of the housing predates 1990 and 81% of households own their home. Old fixture, and nobody else to call about it.
Short version
In Monmouth Beach, 81% 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 82% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Monmouth Beach’s housing suggests
Housing in Monmouth Beach is mostly older than the standard: 82% of it went up before 1990. A toilet fitted when those homes were built used at least twice what a current one does.
Whether the original is still there is a different question, and the only way to settle it is to look at the fixture.

What is actually wrong with it
Start by naming the symptom precisely, because the four common ones have nothing in common mechanically. A tank that never stops refilling, a handle that does nothing, water appearing at the floor and a flush that needs two goes are four separate repairs.
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.
