Toilet Repair in Boiceville, NY
Boiceville is an owner-occupied town with old housing: 90% of homes here went up before 1990, and 95% of households own the one they are in.
Short version
In Boiceville, 95% 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 90% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Boiceville’s housing suggests
Housing in Boiceville is mostly older than the standard: 90% 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
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.
