Toilet Repair in Mount Sinai, NY
In Mount Sinai, 97% of households own their home, and the housing splits fairly evenly either side of 1990 — 57% of it is older than that.
Short version
In Mount Sinai, 97% 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 57% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Mount Sinai’s housing suggests
Roughly 57% of housing here predates 1990 and 37% was built from 2000 onwards, so Mount Sinai has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

What is actually wrong with it
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
