Toilet Repair in Little Falls, NJ
Little Falls has old housing and a mixed tenure: 83% of homes predate 1990, and 34% of households rent. Which of those you are changes the whole answer.
Short version
Tenure in Little Falls is close to even, at 66% owner-occupied and 34% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. Housing there is 83% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Little Falls’s housing suggests
Little Falls is old housing by this measure — 83% of its 11,243 housing units predate 1990, and 14% 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.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
