The NY Post article also says GOP Committee member David Sepiashvili’s signature was on the petition, but he also did not sign it.
Mike Ragusa contacted Alec Brook-Krasny to apologize. Another article by City and State says who obtained the signatures for Ragusa. (See here)

Ari Kagan, Anna Belfiore-Delfaus and Avery Pereira all received challenges to their signatures. (Source) This is typical as candidates try to knock each other off the ballot so they have less opponents to face.
