Toilet Repair in Syracuse, UT
Syracuse is newer than most and strongly owner-occupied: only 14% of its housing predates 1990, and 92% of households own their home.
Short version
In Syracuse, 92% 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. With most homes built since 1990, the fixture is probably already a 1.6 gallon one and its age is unlikely to be the fault.

What the age of Syracuse’s housing suggests
Only 14% of housing units in Syracuse were built before 1990, and 70% went up from 2000 onwards. Anything installed new in those homes was built to the 1.6 gallon standard or below it.
That makes an original pre-standard fixture unusual here — though the data dates the house, and a fixture can be older than the room it is in if it came out of somewhere else.

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 them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
