Looks like a steam boiler that has rusted out above the waterline. If so, it's time for a moment of silence.
In the first pic, the return line near the floor that goes to the Hartford Loop looks like it's rusted out too.All Steamed Up, Inc.

As a professional, I would suggest beginning the process of replacing the boiler. Consider not using an automatic feeder this time, or at the very least, use a HydroLevel VXT.The first step in beginning the boiler replacement process would be to find a contractor who will measure all the connected radiation to properly size the new boiler, as well as review the system in totality, not simply the boiler.5

You MAY get a few more years out of it but do you really want it letting go on Christmas 🎄 Eve? Chanukah? Get Johnny NY from Gateway/Toro out there. They service Brooklyn and know The Steam...Mad Dog 🐕0
