Hi Saneta,
The first meaning of 'condemn' is sentence someone in a court to a punishment, often used in 'condemn to death'. 'Condemned' used with reference to a building means that it is officially stated/declared to be unsafe. Usually as a result of this the building is knocked down.

Hi Saneta,
I assume that, as you say, 'property' refers to the land on which the house is built.
