Toilet Repair in Ansonia, OH
Ansonia is a town of older homes, 91% of them built before 1990, where a little over a third of households are renting.
Short version
In Ansonia the split runs 77% owner-occupied against 23% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. With 91% of the housing built before 1990, a fixture predating the 1.6 gallon standard may still be in place; the figure describes the building rather than the bathroom.

What the age of Ansonia’s housing suggests
91% of Ansonia’s housing predates 1990 and 28% predates 1940. That makes the pre-standard fixture the base case here rather than the exception.
It is a statement about the housing stock. A house built in 1935 has had ninety years in which somebody could have replaced the toilet, and many have.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
