Toilet Repair in Corona, NY
Most people in Corona rent: 78% of households do. The housing is also old, with 85% built before 1990 — which usually means old fixtures that are somebody else's to replace.
Short version
Renting is the majority position in Corona, at 78% of occupied homes. A fixture in a tenancy is generally the landlord's responsibility to repair, which makes the lease the first document to look at and not the last. With 85% of the housing built before 1990, a fixture predating the 1.6 gallon standard may still be in place; the figure describes the building rather than the bathroom.

What the age of Corona’s housing suggests
With 85% of homes built before 1990, Corona sits firmly on the old side of the flush-volume line. EPA describes pre-standard toilets as using 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons per flush, and older ones as much as 6.
The house is what this dates. If you want to know about the fixture itself, the date is usually molded inside the tank lid.

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.
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.
