Toilet Repair in Sea Isle City, NJ
About 48% of homes in Sea Isle City were built before 1990 and 94% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 94% of the occupied homes in Sea Isle City. For most households there the toilet is theirs outright, so the repair can be arranged directly without a landlord, an agent or a lease in the way. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 48% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Sea Isle City’s housing suggests
48% of Sea Isle City’s 6,719 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
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
