Toilet Repair in Fabius, NY
About 62% of homes in Fabius 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 Fabius, 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 62% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

Fabius is a mixed-age town — 62% of its homes were built before 1990. That puts a pre-standard fixture somewhere around even odds before you look at anything.
Looking is easy, and it beats the average: most tanks carry a date on the underside of the lid.

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.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
