Toilet Repair in Beachwood, NJ
Two things are true of Beachwood at once. The housing is old — 83% of it predates 1990 — and at 90% owner-occupied, the repair decision is the reader's own.
Short version
In Beachwood, 90% 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 is 83% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Beachwood’s housing suggests
Beachwood is old housing by this measure — 83% of its 4,180 housing units predate 1990, and 6% were built before 1940. Anything installed new in those homes was a pre-standard fixture at 3.5 gallons or more, against 1.6 today.
Plenty of them have been changed since, and this data cannot tell you whether yours has. It tells you what the odds are for the street rather than the room.

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.
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.
