District 30 Council Member Phil Wong has been committed to protecting the district’s quality of life, and he continues to do so through his graffiti removal efforts. When running for City Council, Wong promised that he would fund nonprofits to power wash and paint over graffiti. 

Wong partnered with Greater Ridgewood Restoration Corporation, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to preserving the housing stock in Queens Community Board 5, which includes Ridgewood, Maspeth, Glendale and Middle Village, to clean the neighborhoods and districts.
