How do we fix this ugly chimney?
It’s been this way 27 years. Was added on very poorly by a man in 1992 when we added our 2nd story to house. We cannot get the mortar off on on top of the sandstone. Will not pressure wash off. Can not chip it off. Has been a ugly reminder to us, and a source of contention all these years. Makes our whole house seem ugly. :/

Looks like it needs professional sand blasting to me.
Be sure to wear rubber gloves as you scrub, and don’t forget eye protection—scrubbing and spraying can splatter the bleach mixture toward your face.
Why not cover it with a stacked stone or something else of your choice? When done right, people will think it's been there all of the time.
I agree that sandblasting is the best way to clean it up.
How did that even pass code? Sandblast it or even painting will make it look better.
Sandblasting is a process. Different products are used in sandblasting based on what the item is being blasted. It's not just "sand". A lot of auto shops sandblast paint off cars using baking soda, ground up pecan shells, etc. Graffiti on brick and concrete is sandblasted off rather than painting like they did years ago.
