Toilet Repair in Manlius, NY
About 74% of homes in Manlius were built before 1990 and 81% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
81% of occupied homes in Manlius 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 74% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Manlius’s housing suggests
About 74% of homes in Manlius predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
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.
