Ok to Switch Off New Yorker Boiler When Heating is Not Necessary?

I have been informed that maintaining a low limit <140 on a New Yorker Boiler is not recommended because it could lead to condensation and rust. Valid? Is it possible or preferable to switch off the unit completely for weeks at a time when heating is not necessary? The home has a separate hot water heater. Thanks!

    Correct. Much better to just turn it off outside the heating season.

    Just keep in mind if it at one time had a tankless coil in it ( they often did/do) that gasket likes to stay warm and could leak if cooled off.
