Listed under Burnham / U.S. Boiler in the source; New Yorker is named in that format's family and the corporate link is an estimate, not a checked fact.
Where the data plate is on a boiler
On the jacket: a plate or sticker on the front or side of the boiler casing, sometimes behind a removable front panel next to the gas valve or control.
General guidance, not brand-specific: the owner's manual or the installer can point to the exact spot. See the data plate guide.
For scale only: the InterNACHI Standard Estimated Life Expectancy Chart for Homes lists Boiler at 40 years of expected service (nachi.org). That chart is a guideline, not a prediction for your unit.
No online serial lookup was found for New Yorker in our research. The manufacturer's customer service line, the installer's invoice, or a printed date on the plate are the remaining authorities.
What we could not confirm
- The era not stated format is documented but not decodable here: no year decode text.
- New Yorker is treated as sharing Burnham / U.S. Boiler's format because the source lists it in that family; the corporate relationship itself is an estimate.
- No official online lookup URL was verified for New Yorker.
- Sequential serials; production date MM/YYYY printed on the data plate (64157594 10/1999). Older units: 'Year Built (YB)' plate or a serial beginning with a 2-digit year under the top jacket cover.
