Is a lis pendens on a condominium only good for a year?

The purpose of a lis pendens is to provide notice to those checking the title of real property that there is a pending lawsuit concerning the property. The duration of the lis pendens is usually until the suit is resolved, whereupon the person filing it (usually the plaintiff in the lawsuit) withdraws it.

The duration of the lis pendens may be different as provided by state law, but this is the general rule.
