Toilet Repair in Roseland, NJ
Roseland is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 70% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
81% of occupied homes in Roseland are owner-occupied, so a failed toilet there is almost always the occupant's own to repair and the occupant's own to pay for. Nothing has to be cleared with anybody before the work is arranged. At 70% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Roseland’s housing suggests
Roseland straddles the line: 70% of its housing units were built before 1990, when the Energy Policy Act of 1992 set the 1.6 gallon maximum, and the rest since.
So the housing stock genuinely does not predict the fixture here, and the date inside the tank lid is worth more than any figure on this page.

What is actually wrong with it
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
