Toilet Repair in Kendall Park, NJ
Kendall Park has a mixed-age housing stock, 64% of it built before 1990, in a town where 89% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
89% of occupied homes in Kendall Park 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 64% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Kendall Park’s housing suggests
Roughly 64% of housing here predates 1990 and 12% was built from 2000 onwards, so Kendall Park 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
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 which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
