Toilet Repair in Weedsport, NY
About 72% of homes in Weedsport were built before 1990 and 81% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
81% of occupied homes in Weedsport 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. At 72% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Weedsport’s housing suggests
72% of Weedsport’s 2,629 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
