Toilet Repair in Glenmont, NY
Neither figure in Glenmont points one way. 57% of the housing was built before 1990 and 23% of households are renting.
Short version
77% of occupied homes in Glenmont are owner-occupied and 23% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. At 57% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Glenmont’s housing suggests
Glenmont is a mixed-age town — 57% 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.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
