Toilet Repair in Randolph, NJ
Randolph sits in the middle of both measures — 72% of housing built before 1990, 77% of households owning their home.
Short version
In Randolph the split runs 77% owner-occupied against 23% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. 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 Randolph’s housing suggests
Roughly 72% of housing here predates 1990 and 9% was built from 2000 onwards, so Randolph 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.
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.
