Toilet Repair in Taberg, NY
About 71% of homes in Taberg were built before 1990 and 86% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
In Taberg, 86% 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 71% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Taberg’s housing suggests
Roughly 71% of housing here predates 1990 and 17% was built from 2000 onwards, so Taberg 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.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
