`window.scrollY` error `typescript`

I'm trying to get the position of the webpage and use it as a condition to run some command if the condition is met.

const getScroll = () => {
        const check = window.scrollY; // If I set the type here to HTMLElement the condition below here becomes invalid because check can't be compared to a number.
        if (check >= 100) {
            setScroll(true);
        } else {
            setScroll(false);
        }
    };
    window.addEventListener("scroll", getScroll);

const getScroll = () => {
        const check = window.scrollY; // If I set the type here to HTMLElement the condition below here becomes invalid because check can't be compared to a number.
        if (check >= 100) {
            setScroll(true);
        } else {
            setScroll(false);
        }
    };
    window.addEventListener("scroll", getScroll);

You basically have to check if the windows is defined and then use window in the function. It can be undefined while rendering on server.

if (typeof window !== undefined) {
   ...
}

if (typeof window !== undefined) {
   ...
}
