Toilet Repair in Minoa, NY
Minoa has old housing and a mixed tenure: 83% of homes predate 1990, and 20% of households rent. Which of those you are changes the whole answer.
Short version
In Minoa the split runs 80% owner-occupied against 20% 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 is 83% pre-1990, so a pre-standard fixture using far more than 1.6 gallons a flush is a real possibility — though that dates the house, not the toilet.

What the age of Minoa’s housing suggests
Housing in Minoa is mostly older than the standard: 83% of it went up before 1990. A toilet fitted when those homes were built used at least twice what a current one does.
Whether the original is still there is a different question, and the only way to settle it is to look at the fixture.

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.
