Toilet Repair in Medford, NJ
About 72% of homes in Medford were built before 1990 and 89% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 89% of the occupied homes in Medford. For most households there the toilet is theirs outright, so the repair can be arranged directly without a landlord, an agent or a lease in the way. At 72% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Medford’s housing suggests
Roughly 72% of housing here predates 1990 and 15% was built from 2000 onwards, so Medford 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
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
