Toilet Repair in Durhamville, NY
About 74% of homes in Durhamville were built before 1990 and 88% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
In Durhamville, 88% 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 splits either side of 1990 at 74% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Durhamville’s housing suggests
Roughly 74% of housing here predates 1990 and 12% was built from 2000 onwards, so Durhamville has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

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.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
