Assuming that 'one' is an owner of a condominium unit, one can approach the board with a written request to expand the maintenance tasks to include the grounds not currently being maintained.
In preparation for presenting the written request, 'one' can read the association's governing documents to ascertain that the un-tended grounds are indeed owned by the association and defined as common or limited common area included in the 'grounds maintenance' definition. (Owners' assessments pay for this maintenance.)
Confirm that the board will address the issue at a board meeting. Then 'one' can attend the board meeting and listen to the board's discussion about your request. It's possible that the board will give 'one' a short period -- two or three minutes -- to present facts, photos, or other evidence that supports the request.
The board has the ultimate voice in determining the answer to 'one's' request.

Who takes care of the condo building and grounds?
Generally, condominium 'buildings and grounds' are defined as common area, owned by all owners in common. Upkeep, maintenance, safety and preservation are the responsibility of the board. Owners' assessments pay for these tasks. You can read your governing documents to determine specifically who owns the 'building and grounds', and who is responsible for 'taking care of them'.

What is the meaning of the word condominium?
The word condominium generally means sharing ownership with others. A condominium is legal arrangement whereby multiple owners share ownership of real property. A portion of the property in the form of units is individually owned and the rest of the property is owned in common with all the unit owners subject to the provisions of the Declaration that created the condominium and to the provisions of state law. Generally, a condominium project is a form of fee ownership by which several owners share ownership of a building(s) by each owning their respective units. In addition to their unit, each owns a proportionate interest in the land that forms the condominium property and common areas of the condominium such as pools, recreation areas, game rooms, community rooms, elevators, stairwells, corridors, streets, surrounding land, laundry rooms, and unassigned parking areas. By the acceptance of their unit deed each unit owner agrees to have their unit subject to the provisions in the Master Deed. Although a condominium is governed by statutory law, can promulgate rules and regulations and assess monthly maintenance fees, the ownership of a condominium unit is considered a fee simple estate.

Who takes care of the condominium and the grounds?
generally this is going to be your homeowners association within the condo, although it can many times be managed by a professional management company. I personally live in a PUD (Planned Unit Development) community, which is very similar to a condo complex. In my neighborhood, all of our property maintenance and insurance issues are handled through the HOA. If all else fails, you could contact your condo association and ask them. hope this helps!
Is a townhouse like a condo?
A little, but they are different. A townhouse is usually a row house, one of several attached buildings. They may have completely separate ownership. A condominium ("condo") is often more like an apartment but essentially it is a residence that is part of a group that has shared management and maintenance. The condo owner is responsible for inside the walls the a Home Owners Association (HOA) is responsible for the outside and the grounds. The condo owner will pay a monthly fee to the HOA for this work.
