Toilet Repair in Bellport, NY
In Bellport, about 68% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 32% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
In Bellport the split runs 68% owner-occupied against 32% 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 68% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
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.
