I gather you want Craigslist to delete an improper ad. If that's your issue, you need to "flag" the ad by opening the ad and checking the "prohibited" box next to the reply button on top. An ad that is subjected to enough flags will be removed. You can also use Craigslist's contact page [https://losangeles.craigslist.org/contact], but I don't know how effective that will be.
