Toilet Repair in Carle Place, NY
Carle Place is a town of older homes, 92% of them built before 1990, where a little over a third of households are renting.
Short version
76% of occupied homes in Carle Place are owner-occupied and 24% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. Housing there is 92% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Carle Place’s housing suggests
92% of housing units in Carle Place were built before 1990, which is to say before the Energy Policy Act of 1992 set a 1.6 gallon maximum. EPA puts pre-standard fixtures at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush.
That is about the house, not about your bathroom: a 1968 home may be on its third toilet. What the figure says is that in a town like this, an original fixture is a live possibility rather than a curiosity.

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.
