Is it legal for a restaurant to operate knowingly without a hot water supply ?

I work for a fast food restaurant that uses a water heater that is less than reliable . For 2 days we were operating without hot water . As well as the all knobs were taken off the water heater . Thanks

Update:

I was thinking along the lines of sanitation

Update 2:

Can I find these laws on line ?

    No it would not be legal, it would be a violation of the health code. Any area would require a certain temperature for washing dishes and equipment and without a heater the establishment would be in violation.
