When was the last time you had the boiler burner checked
Gas or oil??????.
Now hot water base board does have the dirt in the home going up the walls as the hot air from them heats the room the air goes up the walls. Have you vacuum all the fins to clean them out ( on the bottom side).

its oil and there are now fins since its cast iron.
The furnace had a blow back about 7 years ago.
The house is keeped very clean over all and she evens washes the walls down.
