Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'sanitary' (promoting health/cleanliness) + 'condition' (state), so the phrase denotes the state of cleanliness/hygiene and is immediately derivable from the constituents. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g., 'estado sanitario'/'condition sanitaire'), so a B1 learner who knows both words would understand it.
Etymology
The phrase sanitary condition comes from the simple idea of checking whether a place is sanitary (that is, 'clean' and safe) and what its condition (its state) is. So, it means the level of 'cleanliness' and 'hygiene' in a place.
