Brooklyn, NY. Building is attached on one side. There's a stack w/ 4
openings in between the buildings. One opening is the other building's
boiler flue, the next opening is sealed up, the next opening is a flue
that appears to go all the way down, the fourth opening is sealed.

I want to figure out who's flue the open one is. I don't think it is in
use, and I don't think the owner of the other building will know. Is
there a rule of thumb for how they arranged old flues? doubtful.

Assuming its all sealed up, any way to figure it out?

Eventually I might like to run a hood vent up there, is the main reason
I'm interested.

any info appreciated,

Ben, all the openings belong to your neighbor. Your chimney is on the other
side of your house . The four openings represent original connections to
the fireplaces on each floor in the same house. The chimney probably
predates central heating and one of the flues was converted to be used by
the boiler when it was installed.
