Toilet Repair in Norwood, NJ
About 64% of homes in Norwood were built before 1990 and 80% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 80% of the occupied homes in Norwood. 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 64% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Norwood’s housing suggests
Roughly 64% of housing here predates 1990 and 12% was built from 2000 onwards, so Norwood 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
Start by naming the symptom precisely, because the four common ones have nothing in common mechanically. A tank that never stops refilling, a handle that does nothing, water appearing at the floor and a flush that needs two goes are four separate repairs.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
