Toilet Repair in Rocky Point, NY
Rocky Point is an owner-occupied town with old housing: 90% of homes here went up before 1990, and 94% of households own the one they are in.
Short version
In Rocky Point, 94% 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 is 90% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Rocky Point’s housing suggests
Housing in Rocky Point is mostly older than the standard: 90% 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.
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.
