Toilet Repair in Monroe Township, NJ
About 46% of homes in Monroe Township were built before 1990 and 90% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
In Monroe Township, 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. At 46% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Monroe Township’s housing suggests
46% of Monroe Township’s 24,898 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
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.
