Toilet Repair in Hartsdale, NY
Two things are true of Hartsdale at once. The housing is old — 97% of it predates 1990 — and at 86% owner-occupied, the repair decision is the reader's own.
Short version
86% of occupied homes in Hartsdale are owner-occupied, so a failed toilet there is almost always the occupant's own to repair and the occupant's own to pay for. Nothing has to be cleared with anybody before the work is arranged. Housing there is 97% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Hartsdale’s housing suggests
With 97% of homes built before 1990, Hartsdale 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
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.
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.
